          Appeal No. 2001-0513                                                        
          Application No. 09/096,550                                                  


          we cannot sustain the anticipation rejection of claims 1, 3, 4,             
          8, 10, 11, 14 through 16, and 19 through 21.                                
               Regarding the obviousness rejections, Nishiura, Kim, and               
          Mendenhall provide no teaching of independent rates of reading              
          and writing to the non-local memory.  Therefore, the combinations           
          of Nishiura, Kim, and Mendenhall with Artieri fail to cure the              
          deficiencies of Artieri alone.  Therefore, we cannot sustain the            
          obviousness rejections of claims 2, 5 through 7, 9, 12, 13, 17,             
          18, 22, and 23.                                                             






















                                          6
