Appeal No. 96-3767
Application 07/970,260
13 to 19 and 23 to 32, the examiner relies upon the collective
teachings of Richardson and Sierra.2
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the
examiner, reference is made to the Briefs and the Answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
Both rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are reversed.
Turning initially to the rejection of claims 10 to 12 and 20
to 22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in light of Richardson alone,
independent claim 10 sets forth various conditions. Upon a
determination of whether a first value is present in a cache
memory, a further determination is made whether a second value is
present in the same memory. Again, upon a determination that
this second value is present in the cache memory a read operation
is performed with the final result of finding the remainder of a
quotient. Corresponding operations are performed in apparatus
independent claim 20.
2Page 2 of the Examiner’s Answer indicates that the
examiner has withdrawn a rejection of certain claims under
35 U.S.C. § 101 set forth in the Final Rejection.
