          Appeal No. 2006-0745                                                        
          Application No. 09/792,758                                                  

          Treibitz, is not the same as controlling the flow of the                    
          presentation.  Appellants argue that the judge in Treibitz does             
          not control the flow of the presentation and cannot control the             
          sequence of slides or flow of the presentation during the conduct           
          of the presentation [brief, pages 7-11].                                    
          The examiner responds that the judge in Treibitz is part of                 
          the audience, and the judge can control the flow of the                     
          presentation when a judge configuration mode is present.                    
          Specifically, the examiner asserts that the judge controls the              
          flow of the electronic presentation when he screens and previews            
          the images [answer, pages 7-8].                                             
          Appellants respond that it is the presenter in Treibitz that                
          controls the flow of the presentation and not the judge as                  
          asserted by the examiner.  Appellants insist that only the                  
          presenter in Treibitz can control the flow and order of the                 
          presentation [reply brief, pages 2-3].                                      
          We will sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 34-36 for                
          essentially the reasons argued by the examiner.  We agree with              
          the examiner that the mere fact that the judge in Treibitz can              
          control which images are seen by the jury is enough to meet the             
          broad recitation of controlling the flow of the presentation in             

                                          6
