          Appeal No. 94-3053                                                          
          Application 07/832,661                                                      



          on the same semiconductor chip as his support processor, it                 
          would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the                
          electronic processor art to put the memory and processor on                 
          the same chip in order to save space and the costs of an                    
          additional chip.  See In re Sovish, 769 F.2d 738, 743, 226                  
          USPQ 771, 774 (Fed. Cir. 1985) (ordinary skill is presumed not              
          something less).  Accordingly, we will sustain the rejection                
          of claim 22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in view of Hester.                        


                    Claim 27                                                          
                    Claim 27 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in                 
          view of Hester and d’Angeac.  Appellants argue that this                    
          rejection should be reversed because this claim recites that:               
                    said on-chip condition sensor includes . .                        
                    . a logic network connected to said sensor                        
                    circuits, said serial scan circuit being                          
                    . . . interconnected with said logic                              
                    network                                                           

                    for determining selections of sensor                              
                    circuits by said logic network,                                   



                                         25
