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


          removing each such entry from the page table;” (claim 17,                   
          lines 6 to 10).  The anticipation rejection of claim 17 is,                 
          therefore, also not sustainable for the same reasons as claim               
          1.                                                                          
               Since the dependent claims 2, 7, 10 to 13, 15, 18 to 20,               
          22 and 23 contain at least the above discussed limitations of               
          their respective independent claims 1, 6 and 17, their                      
          anticipation rejection over Perazzoli is not sustained.                     
                    Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102 over Orbits                       
                    Claims 1, 2, 5 to 7, 9 to 15, 17 to 20, 22 and 23                 
          are rejected as being anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102 over                
          Orbits.                                                                     




          We take claim 1 for example.  We have considered Appellant’s                
          arguments [brief, pages 10 to 11] and Examiner’s position                   
          [answer, pages 4, 7 and 8] regarding claim 1.  The Examiner                 
          has not identified in Orbits 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          entries have been identified as no longer active;” (claim 1,                
                                         -7-
