         Appeal No. 2007-0095                                                       
         Application No. 09/843,566                                                 

         evidence as a whole and the relative persuasiveness of the                 
         arguments.  See Id.; In re Hedges, 783 F.2d 1038, 1040, 228 USPQ           
         685, 687 (Fed. Cir. 1986); In re Piasecki, 745 F.2d 1468, 1472,            
         223 USPQ 785, 788 (Fed. Cir. 1984); and In re Rinehart, 531 F.2d           
         1048, 1051, 189 USPQ 143, 146-147 (CCPA 1976).  Only those                 
         arguments actually made by appellant have been considered in this          
         decision.  Arguments which appellant could have made but chose             
         not to make in the brief have not been considered and are deemed           
         to be waived [see 37 CFR § 41.37(c)(1)(vii) (2004)].                       
              With respect to independent claims 1, 17, and 31, it is the           
         examiner’s position that Anderson discloses a processor and                
         memory connected thereto (referring to column 5, lines 7-26), a            
         first screen (referring to Figure 11) being divided into a                 
         plurality of cells with each cell being associated with a                  
         different segment of an image (referring to column 6, lines                
         25-40), and a second screen used to display one of the different           
         segments to the user (referring to Figure 9 and column 6, lines            
         25-40 and 52-65).   The examiner acknowledges that Anderson does           
         not disclose a first and second window.  The examiner turns to             
         Angiulo, specifically Figures 2 and 6-8, and to “lines 10-25” of           
         some unidentified column (see page 3 of the answer), and                   






                                         5
