          Appeal No. 2001-0149                                                        
          Application 08/896,001                                                      


          information between logic devices in the same row or column                 
          as recited in claims 1, 7, 10, and 17.  Since claims 2-6,                   
          8-9, 11-16, and 18 are dependent on independent claims 1, 7,                
          10, and 17, we also cannot sustain the art rejections of                    
          these claims.  Therefore, we cannot sustain the rejection of                
          claims 1-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
