          Appeal No. 1996-2480                                                        
          Application 08/163,825                                                      



          terms set forth on pages 3 through 5 of Appellants'                         
          specification.                                                              
                    We note that all of Appellants' claims recite the                 
          limitation of a perceptron node.  We also note that the                     
          Examiner                                                                    





          has failed to address this limitation as it is defined in                   
          Appellants' specification.  Upon our review of Weingard and                 
          Lu, we fail to find that either of these references teaches                 
          this limitation.  Therefore, we will not sustain the                        
          Examiner's                                                                  
          rejection of claims 1 through 16, 19 through 32 and 34 through              
          53 as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Weingard                
          in view of Lu.                                                              
                    We have not sustained the rejection of the claims                 
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the Examiner's decision                
          is reversed.                                                                



                                          9
