Appeal No. 95-4096
Application No. 08/188,660
bus being an efficient transfer medium for bursty, or high
speed, data appears to be a weak motivation for attempting to
use a packet-switched bus in Dashiell when Dashiell does not
indicate that the data therein is high speed data of the type
of interest in Baxter and there is no indication that the
system of Dashiell would work with a packet-switched bus. The
examiner fails to take into account that the completely
different types of buses do not easily permit the substitution
of one for the other without an attendant, more-than-routine,
modification of other parts of the system.
Instant claim 2 clearly calls for the transactions
comprising “a request packet followed at an indeterminate
later time by a reply packet...” Clearly, the Dashiell system
operates in a completely different manner. There is no
request packet therein which is followed at an indeterminate
later time by a reply packet.
