          Appeal No. 95-0394                                                          
          Application No. 08/065,786                                                  


                         operation on the numerical values read from                  
          the memories and providing an output signal                                 
          dependent on the result of the operation.                                   

          The examiner relies on no references.                                       
          Claims 10-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as                        
          being directed to nonstatutory subject matter in the form of a              
          mathematical algorithm.                                                     
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the reasons              
          relied upon by the examiner as support for the rejection.  We               
          have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in                   
          reaching our decision, the appellant’s arguments set forth in               
          the brief along with the examiner’s rationale in support of                 
          the rejection and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the                    
          examiner’s answer.                                                          
          It is our view, after consideration of the record                           
          before us, that claims 10-17 are directed to statutory subject              

                                          3
