          Kaplinsky                     4,669,043                May  26,             
          1987                                                                        
          Cepulis                  5,144,551                Sep.  1, 1992             
          (filed June 13, 1991)                                                       
                              The Rejections on Appeal                                
               Claims 1-6 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103                
          as being unpatentable over Kaplinsky in view of Cepulis.  The               
          appellant has grouped claims 1-6 together for argument                      
          purposes in this appeal.  (Br. at 4).  Claim 1 is                           
          representative of claims 1-6.                                               
               An amendment to claims 1-3 was filed after the examiner's              
          final Office action, and a further amendment to claim 1 was                 
          filed with the appellant's Reply Brief.  These amendments have              
          been entered.                                                               

                                    The Invention                                     
               This invention is directed to maintaining coherency                    
          between a data cache and a segment descriptor cache in a
