          Appeal No. 96-0905                                                          
          Application No. 08/116,950                                                  


               It is our view that if appellants’ claims, in some way,                
          required that all of the CPUs in the multiple CPU system were               
          subject to the claimed requirements regarding interruption                  
          responsive to a preselected count, this would distinguish over              
          the applied references for the reasons set forth in the reply               
          brief.  However, as presently claimed, we agree with the                    
          examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 8, 11 through 14 and 16            
          through 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                           
               The examiner’s decision is affirmed.                                   
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under                           
          37 CFR § 1.136(a).
