Appeal No. 96-2091
Application No. 08/230,544
the SET signal and the RESET signal on line 30 is related to
the TEST signal since it is derived from the CLOCK OUT signal
which was derived from the TEST signal. If the TEST signal is
low and the CLOCK IN signal is high, then both the SET and
RESET signals are derived from the CLOCK IN signal, and,
again, they are not "asynchronous," as that term is employed
in the instant claims.
Accordingly, since Wong does not disclose the
"asynchronous" first and second signals of instant claim 2,
the subject matter of claim 2 is not anticipated by Wong under
3S U.S.C. 102(b). Claim 17 stands with claim 2.
Since claim 2 is not anticipated by Wong, neither can
claim 15, dependent on claim 2, be anticipated by Wong under
35 U.S.C. 102(b). Claim 18 stands with claim 15.
We have sustained the rejection of claims 1 and 16 under
35 U.S.C. 102(b) but we have not sustained the rejection of
claims 2, 15, 17 and 18 under 35 U.S.C. 102(b).
