               The examiner relies on the following references:                       
          Juzswik et al. (Juzswik)           4,698,748                Oct.

               Claims 1 through 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as

          answer, the examiner entered three new grounds of rejection,

          under 35 U.S.C. 103 over Intel in view of Branson, holding                  
          claims 11 and 12 unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. 103 over Branson
