                Appeal 2006-2328                                                                                       
                Application 10/131,049                                                                                 
                signals" and "outputting the separate reference . . . vertical synchronous                             
                signals."  The rejection of claim 57 is reversed.                                                      

                Claims 26, 1, 21, 27, and 35                                                                           
                       Claims 1, 21, 27, and 35 are grouped to stand or fall together with                             
                claim 26 (Reply Brief at 6).                                                                           

                       Issue                                                                                           
                       Based on Appellant's contentions, the issue is whether Yamagishi                                
                would have motivated one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the                                    
                microcomputer in Arai to perform the claimed function of "generating                                   
                reference vertical and horizontal synchronous signals when no input is                                 
                received from said vertical synchronous signal terminal, said                                          
                horizontal/composite synchronous signal terminal and said                                              
                synchronous-on-green terminal of said computer."                                                       

                       Facts                                                                                           
                              Scope and content of the references                                                      
                                     Arai                                                                              
                       The scope and content of Arai are discussed in connection with the                              
                rejection of claim 58.                                                                                 

                                     Yamagishi                                                                         
                       Yamagishi discloses a circuit that switches from a selected                                     
                synchronizing signal, Input Sync or EXT. (External) Sync, to a replacement
