          Appeal No. 2003-0450                                                        
          Application 09/394,039                                                      

          delay of a write address with respect to a read address as                  
          claimed, and do not cure the deficiencies of Kaneko.  We conclude           
          that the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of             
          obviousness with respect to independent claim 2.  The rejection             
          of claim 2 and its dependent claims 3, 4, and 6, is reversed.               
               Independent claims 7, 13, 19, and 24 recite address delay              
          limitations similar to those in claim 2 and, for the reasons                
          already stated with respect to claim 2, the rejection of                    
          claims 7, 13, 19, and 24 and their dependent claims 8, 9, 11,               
          20-23, and 25-30, is reversed.                                              
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The rejection of claims 2-4, 6-9, 11, 13, and 19-30 is                 
          reversed.                                                                   
                                      REVERSED
