          Appeal No. 96-2445                                                          
          Application 08/289,801                                                      


          instructions within an instruction buffer.  The examiner's                  
          position appears to rely upon shifting operations that may                  
          fairly be attributed to the operation of the circuits within                
          each reference outside of but not within an instruction                     
          buffer.                                                                     
               Therefore, in view of the foregoing, the decision of the               
          examiner rejecting independent claims 9 and 12 under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103 must be reversed.  As such, the rejection of the                      
          respective dependent claims of these claims also cannot be                  
          sustained.
