the discussion on pages 102-105 of undersampling in conjunction
with compression is in the section of the specification entitled
"Geometric Processor." Thus, the undersampling circuit would
appear to be within the geometric module, as asserted by
appellant.
Appellant points to spatial module 110E in Figure 1A for the
spatial interpolation circuit and step of generating spatially
interpolated information. Spatial module 110E follows the
geometric module, and thus would appear to function "in response
to" the undersampling circuit which is within the geometric
module. However, many of the portions of the specification
referenced by appellant for a discussion of interpolation are
under the heading of "Geometric Processor." Thus, it is unclear
if the spatial interpolation circuit is "coupled to the
undersampling circuit" and functions "in response to the
undersampled image information" and whether the spatial
interpolation step is "in response to the undersampled image
information."
Last, for temporal interpolation, appellant directs us, for
example, to both element 110A and also element 110R in Figure 1A.
None of the drawings explicitly show a temporal interpolation
circuit. Although line 110H in Figure 1A could be considered to
take the image information generated by the spacial module for
