and equivalents thereof, to the extent that the specification
provides such disclosure.”
Appellant, on pages 7 through 9 of the specification,
teaches three encoding levels for each object word stored in
the memory using object space manager (OSM) circuit 45.
Appellant, on pages 7 and 8 of the specification, defines the
addresses for each level as the particular bits of an object
memory address. Appellant, on pages 13 and 14 of the
specification, further discloses that the OSM includes
register arrays 7 and 9 for level-1, register arrays 13 and 15
for level-2, and register arrays 1 and 3 for level-3 encoding.
Appellant further teaches additional input/output register
array segments and control circuitry for storing the code
words.
After a review of the foregoing sections of the
disclosure, we find that OSM circuit 45 is the corresponding
structure for the “means for entering simultaneously into the
code memory at a plurality of addresses” as recited in
Appellant’s claim 1. We further find that register arrays 1,
