Application 09/040,510
138 (Fed. Cir. 1986) and Lindemann Maschinenfabrik GMBH v.
American Hoist & Derrick Co., 730 F.2d 1452, 1458, 221 USPQ 481,
485 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
Appellant argues that Alkofer fails to teach a storage
mechanism for persistently storing said image signal and said
computed histogram, and a linking mechanism for linking said
image signal and said computed histogram associated therewith as
recited in Appellant’s claim 1. See pages 4 through 6 of the
brief and the reply brief. Appellant further argues that Alkofer
fails to teach an image storage mechanism for persistently
storing said processing image signal, a histogram computation
mechanism for generating, on-line, a computed histogram from said
image signal, a histogram storage mechanism for persistently
storing said computed histograms, and a linking mechanism for
linking said processed image signal and said computed histogram
associated therewith as recited in Appellant’s claim 14. See
pages 7 and 8 of the brief and the reply brief. Appellant also
argues that Alkofer fails to teach forming a link for linking the
computed histogram with an associated image signal and storing,
persistently, the image signal, the computed histogram and the
link as recited in Appellant’s claim 22. See page 9 of the brief
