          Appeal No. 97-2696                                                          
          Application 08/231,657                                                      


          all elements of the claimed invention be described in a single              
          reference.  In re Spada, 911 F.2d 705, 708, 15 USPQ2d 1655,                 
          1657 (Fed. Cir. 1990).                                                      
                   Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102 over Perazzoli                     
                    Claims 1, 2, 6, 7, 10 to 13, 15, 17 to 20, 22 and 23              
          are rejected as being anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102 by                  
          Perazzoli.  We take claim 1 as representative.  We have                     


          considered Appellant’s arguments [brief, pages 7 to 9] and                  
          Examiner’s position [answer, pages 3, 4, 6 and 7] regarding                 
          claim 1.  The Examiner has not found in Perazzoli any specific              
          text and figure which show, for example, these claimed                      
          limitations: “upon each allocation of an available address,                 
          examining ... whether the entries have been identified as no                
          longer active;” (claim 1, lines 6 to 8), and “removing the                  
          entries ... and maintaining a list of the addresses associated              
          with the entries being removed;” (claim 1, lines 9 to 10).                  
          From our revirew of Perazzoli we also do not find.  Perazzoli               
          swaps page table pages when the pages get used up (column 2,                
          lines 35 to 52).  Perazzoli does not keep track of the                      
          addresses of the entries on an ongoing basis as the entries                 
                                         -5-
