          Appeal No. 96-4184                                                          
          Application No. 08/159,346                                                  


          the shift register loops are "rotated synchronously" (column                
          5, lines 28 through 30; column 8, lines 51 through 59).                     
               In summary, the obviousness rejection of claims 65                     
          through 67 is reversed because Meltzer’s parallel-connected                 
          shift register loops are completely different from the claimed              
          plurality of serially-connected data registers in "a" loop.                 
               The obviousness rejection of claim 108 is reversed                     
          because the teachings of Kloker cannot cure the noted                       
          shortcomings in the teachings of Cornaby and Meltzer.
