          Appeal No. 95-1199                                                           
          Application 08/101,348                                                       

                    This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims               
          1-13, 24-26, 30, and 31.  Claims 14, 16-20, 27-29 and 32-36                  
          have                                                                         


          been indicated as allowable, and claims 15 and 21-23 have been               
          canceled.                                                                    
                    Claim 1 reads as follows:                                          
                    1.  A bi-stable logic device comprising:                           
                    first and second inverters each said first and                     
          second inverters including an input and an output;                           
                    a first resistor between the input of said first                   
          inverter and the output of said second inverter;                             
                    a second resistor coupled between the input of said                
          second inverter and the output of said first inverter;                       
                    a capacitive coupling between the input of said                    
          first inverter and the output of said first inverter such that               
          said first resistor isolates said capacitive coupling from the               
          output of said second inverter and said second resistor                      
          isolates said capacitive coupling from the input of said                     
          second inverter.                                                             
                    The Examiner’s Answer cites the following prior art:
