          Appeal No. 95-0323                                                          
          Application 08/051,928                                                      


          amendment after                                                             


          final rejection was filed on March 4, 1994, and was entered                 
          by the examiner.  This amendment cancelled claims 11-14.                    
          Accordingly, this appeal is directed to the rejection of                    
          claims 1-10.                                                                
          The disclosed invention pertains to a method and                            
          apparatus for selection of random values from a set of N non-               
          sequential values.  The invention has application in a wide                 
          variety of areas in which it is necessary or desirable to                   
          generate random or pseudorandom values.  The invention of                   
          independent claim 1 is directed to the method for selecting                 
          pseudorandom values in a computer to generate frequencies for               
          hopping in a frequency hopping radio.                                       
          Independent claim 1 on appeal is reproduced as follows:                     
               1.  A method for the selection of pseudorandom values in               
          a computer to generate frequencies for hopping in a frequency               
          hopping radio, the method comprising the steps of:                          
               providing a set of values numbering N;                                 
               sorting the set of values from smallest value to largest               
          value;                                                                      
               creating a blank information pool from the N values;                   

                                          2
