          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.                  

                                          10
