Appeal No. 1996-0347 Application No. 08/166,609 U.S.C. 102(b) based on Branson since independent claims 7 and 19 also require the adjustment of clocking frequency based on a counted number of events indicative of the activity level of the computer system during a preset period [claim 7] or of the counted number of main memory cycles [claim 19]. The rejection of dependent claims 11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. 103 based on Branson and Intel will fall with the rejection under 35 U.S.C. 102(b) since Intel does not provide for the deficiencies of Branson. We have not sustained the rejection of claims 7 through 10 and 19 through 22 under 35 U.S.C. 102(b) or the rejections of claims 1 through 22 under 35 U.S.C. 103. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
