          Appeal No. 1997-4071                                                        
          Application No. 08/047,511                                                  


          circumstances is not sufficient."  Id. citing Continental Can               
          Co v. Monsanto Co., 948 F.3d 1264, 1269, 20 U.S.P.Q.2d 1746,                
          1749 (Fed. Cir. 1991).                                                      
               We fail to find that Stinson discloses or suggests a                   
          memory divided into a plurality of sections, each section                   
          being associated with a specific data processing function for               
          selectively storing sentence entries in each of the memory                  
          sections in accordance with the specific data processing                    
          function used to generate each sentence entry as required by                
          Appellants' claims.  We fail to find that the Examiner has                  
          shown that it would be necessary for Stinson to partition                   
          Stinson's memory in this way.  Therefore, we will not sustain               
          the Examiner's rejection of Appellants' claims.
