Appeal No. 1996-3076
Application 08/118,773
We do not find anything in Dieter that can be
interpreted as "an address of a code of a function being
executed and an address of the contents of an instantaneous
context associated with the function" as recited in claim 1.
For this additional reason, the anticipation rejection of
claims 1, 2, and 16 is reversed.
Claim 10
The Examiner reads the claimed "first pickups means
(32) for picking up instantaneous information, said first
means being operatively associated with the central memory
(12) and input and/or output peripherals (22)" on the
"hardware and software monitor tools" in Dieter (EA5).
Appellant argues (Br14-15) that Dieter does not disclose
pickups as claimed. It is argued that this limitation must
be construed in light of the specification under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, sixth paragraph, and that "[t]he instant
specification states, at page 6 [sic, 8], lines 2-6, . . .
that the pickups 32 are in the form of programs and/or
circuits capable of performing the functions of central
memory reader, keyboard filter, screen memory reader, mouse
