          Appeal No. 1997-1921                                                        
          Application 08/099,709                                                      



               Claim 1 does not preclude the use of a switch to                       
          determine, or effect, prioritization.  As such, Grimmett                    
          clearly discloses at least the last element of the claim and                
          we find appellants’ argument to the contrary unpersuasive.                  


               Appellants have not convinced us of any error in our                   
          decision of April 28, 2000.  Accordingly, while we have                     
          granted appellants’ request for rehearing to the extent that                
          we have                                                                     




















                                          4
