Appeal No. 1997-3240
Application 08/176,940
10 through 12 are objected to, for depending upon a rejected
base claim.
Appellant’s invention relates to an object space manager
circuit in a computer that provides control over live object
memories that are being used by the CPU in the performance of
an application program. More specifically, Appellant, on page
4 of the specification, discloses that an encoding means
generates locator codes for each word of an object and a
locating means identifies the cell containing the header of an
object. Appellant on pages 7 through 9, further adds that the
coding means uses a hierarchial coding scheme that stores in a
code memory three levels of codes for each object word stored
in the memory. Thus, the header address of an object is
determined from the address of any word in the object. The
requirements of each coding level is further outlined to be
related to the particular number of most significant bits of
the word address within an object which ultimately determines
the object header address.
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as
follows:
1. An object space manager circuit comprising:
