Application No. 09/849,761
data signal were allowed to be propagated at the output in
direct opposite comparison to the nonattenuated or preserved
signal values where many bits of information were utilized
to characterize the output signal. Lastly, it is stated at
page 5, lines 5 through 7 that an “[a]pproximate replica of
the original signal may be reconstructed from the compressed
data by combining the subband signals into a single output.”
This combination function is equivalent to the summing
operation of representative claim 14 on appeal.
As noted at the top of page 3 of the Brief, the claims
on appeal have not been amended and are originally filed
claims, which clearly read on appellant’s own admitted prior
art. In other words, the claims were filed and prosecuted
by the appellant where the claims did not distinguish over
the prior known to the appellant.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner
rejecting all claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
affirmed.
