Appeal No. 96-0033
Application 08/066,638
for selectively gating the data from the buffer registers to the
second device, in such a way that the data are provided to the
second device in the same sequence as they were provided by the
first device.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Meinke 4,193,123 Mar. 11, 1980
Trost 4,288,860 Sep. 8, 1981
Claims 1 to 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As
evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon Trost alone
as to claims 1 to 5, 8 and 9, with the addition of Meinke as to
claims 6 and 7.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the
examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
For all the reasons well expressed by the examiner in the
answer, and for the additional amplifying reasons presented here,
we will sustain the prior art rejection of claims 1 to 5, 8 and
9. However, we reverse the rejection of dependent claims 6
and 7.
