          Appeal No. 2004-0995                                                        
          Application No. 09/984,546                                                  

          at the top of column 3, figures 1a, 1b depict the hardware                  
          configuration of the pen-based peripheral device or viewer 100 in           
          these figures, where figures 3a-3c relate to a block diagram                
          format of the software environment 300 under which the viewer 100           
          and host computer 101 operate and where figure 4 shows a pen                
          control program state diagram to provide the viewer 100 remote              
          control of the host computer 101.  The artisan would therefore              
          well appreciate that only a single embodiment with a structural             
          and software-functional type of environments are depicted in the            
          figures relied upon by the examiner and us in reaching our                  
          decision.                                                                   
               Because appellant’s remaining arguments in the brief are               
          wrongly bottomed on the view that only one video buffer is                  
          disclosed in this reference, we do not agree with appellant’s               
          additional assertions that Banerjee does not teach two video                
          buffers selectively providing images to a single display as                 
          recited in clause “b” of claim 7 on appeal.  It is not disputed             
          that the Video Event Buffer 305 in figures 3a and 3c buffer video           
          images from the non-portable computer that are received over the            
          wireless transceiver to the single display, LCD 113c/409.                   
          Correspondingly, the Pen Event Buffer 302 in figures 3a, 3c and             
          the image buffering for local inking operations (401, 402, 405              
                                          4
