                Appeal 2006-2328                                                                                       
                Application 10/131,049                                                                                 
                in which the signals are previously separated into a horizontal synchronizing                          
                signal (HS) and a vertical synchronizing signal (VS) (col. 10, ll. 30-41).                             
                Circuit 201 separates the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals and                            
                unifies the polarities (col. 8, ll. 59-68).  Circuit 201 also contains an                              
                H-omission countermeasure circuit 306 for detecting a lack of a horizontal                             
                synchronizing signal during a vertical synchronizing signal period and                                 
                supplying a pseudo-horizontal synchronizing signal (col. 10, ll. 25-29; col. 13,                       
                l. 18, to col. 14, l. 17; Figs. 7 and 8).  Circuit 201 outputs the separated                           
                synchronizing signals to a control processing circuit 206, where "[t]he control                        
                processing circuit 206 is constituted by use of, for example, an LSI of a                              
                one-chip microcomputer or the like" (col. 9, ll. 6-8).  "The control processing                        
                circuit 206 judges the respective frequencies of the horizontal and vertical                           
                synchronizing signals HD2 and VD2 fed thereto, in accordance with the                                  
                program stored in the control memory 207" (col. 9, ll. 9-12), and outputs                              
                "control data for indicating a display size" (col. 9, ll. 18) and "control data for                    
                indicating a display position" (col. 9, ll. 27-28) in addition to the                                  
                synchronizing signals HD1 and VD1 (Fig. 2).                                                            
                       Figure 9 of Arai discloses a second embodiment of the DAT 2.  "In                               
                FIG. 9, the function of the synchronizing signal processing circuit 201 of the                         
                DAT 2 shown in FIG. 2 is executed by software of the control processing                                
                circuit 206.  FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the processing flow of the                               
                control processing circuit 206."  (Col. 14, ll. 32-36.)  As previously noted,                          
                element 206 is a microcomputer (col. 9, lines 6-8).  As shown in Figure 10,                            

                                                         - 6 -
