Appeal No. 1997-2161 Application 08/172,170 As we have pointed out above, we fail to find that Sakuma teaches converting a logical register number designated in an instruction into a physical register number. We note that Appellants' claim 10 recites that the register number conversion circuit converts a logical register number designated in an instruction into a physical register number, said logical register number indicating the queue number, the physical register having a physical register number belonging to the queue having the logical register number, and transfers said physical register number to said plurality of register queues. In our review of Hattori, we also fail to find that Hattori teaches the above specific limitation as recited in claim 10. Furthermore, we fail to find any suggestion of making a modification to Sakuma or Hattori to obtain the Appellants' invention. We have not sustained the rejection of claims 3, 4 and 11 through 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph. 10Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
