used to calculate the field values for each data
packet in a selected frame. Particularly, at page 11 of the
Appeal Brief, Appellants state:
There is no identification of function
code formats of a selected frame as claimed,
nor use of text file to identify them. . . .
No calculation of values for fields is
mentioned or implied.
To determine whether claim 1 is anticipated, we must first
determine the scope of the claims. We note that claim 1 reads in
part as follows:
[U]sing a text file to identify function code
formats; and calculating values for fields
based on the function code formats.
At page 6, lines 10 through 23, Appellants’ specification states:
[0026] To automate the analysis of the
data patterns, a tool that functions in
accordance with the flowchart of Figure 2 is
provided. A text file is used while
automating this analysis. The text file
contains the data, which has details about
the data packets that are moving on the
control bus. Values for fields such as
Enthalpy, dry bulb configuration etc., are
determined. When the application starts, the
application reads the text file and stores
the data in a data structure. Whenever the
user selects a data packet for analysis, the
application gets the necessary information
from the data packet and looks for a matching
record in the data structure. Once a match
