          Appeal No. 1997-0918                                                         
          Application 08/160,301                                                       



          of claim 34, which is similar to the recitation in dependent                 
          claims 33 and 35 in part.  Claim 34 recites that the                         
          arithmetic logic unit has a carry input to it, a feature which               
          is not taught or suggested or shown in either Yamaoka's Figure               
          3 or Zaidi's Figure 3.  Therefore, we reverse the rejection of               
          this claim.                                                                  
               In view of the foregoing, we have sustained the rejection               
          of claims 1 through 8, 32, 33, 35 and 36, but have reversed                  
          the rejection of dependent claim 34.  Accordingly, the                       
          decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.                                
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                      
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                     
          § 1.136(a).                                                                  
                                   AFFIRMED-IN-PART
