Appeal No. 96-0905 Application No. 08/116,950 It is our view that if appellants’ claims, in some way, required that all of the CPUs in the multiple CPU system were subject to the claimed requirements regarding interruption responsive to a preselected count, this would distinguish over the applied references for the reasons set forth in the reply brief. However, as presently claimed, we agree with the examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 8, 11 through 14 and 16 through 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The examiner’s decision is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). AFFIRMED Errol A. Krass ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) Michael R.
