                Appeal 2006-2328                                                                                       
                Application 10/131,049                                                                                 
                system circuit 13 and this does not appear to be an inherent characteristic of                         
                the system.  The Examiner's statement that the CRT 12 in Arai can be the                               
                claimed "video signal processor" is without merit because, among other                                 
                things, the CRT does not perform any "processing."                                                     
                       We find that Arai does not disclose or suggest to one skilled in the art                        
                the limitation of Issue (4).                                                                           

                       Conclusion                                                                                      
                       We find Arai does not disclose or suggest to one of ordinary skill in the                       
                art the limitations of: (1) "said microcomputer generating . . . reference . . .                       
                vertical synchronous signals when at least one synchronous signal is not                               
                detected from said computer"; (2) "said microcomputer providing . . . said                             
                separate horizontal and vertical synchronous signals to said synchronous                               
                signal processor"; and (3) "said synchronous signal processor outputting                               
                processed vertical and horizontal synchronous signals to said video signal                             
                processor."  The Examiner has failed to provide evidence of motivation for                             
                making these modifications.  The rejection of claim 58 is reversed.                                    

                Claim 57                                                                                               
                       Issue                                                                                           
                       Based on Appellant's contentions, the sole issue is whether Arai                                
                discloses or suggests to one of ordinary skill in the art the limitation "if said at                   
                least one input synchronous signal is not received, generating separate                                
                reference . . . vertical synchronous signals."                                                         

                                                        - 23 -
