          Appeal No. 1998-0710                                                        
          Application 08/625,379                                                      


          wherein each of the targeted output multiplexers, based upon                
          the commands, establishes a communication path between a                    
          corresponding one of the plurality of switch outputs with one               
          of the some of the plurality of switch inputs when valid, such              
          that a plurality of communication paths are simultaneously                  
          active.                                                                     
                                                                                     
          The examiner relies on the following reference:                             
          Newman                    4,965,788            Oct. 23, 1990                
          Claims 21 and 22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)                    
          as being anticipated by the disclosure of Newman.                           
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for                
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the                      
          evidence of anticipation relied upon by the examiner as                     
          support for the rejection.  We have, likewise, reviewed and                 
          taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the                     
          appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs along with the                
          examiner’s rationale in support of the rejection and arguments              
          in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.                             


                                          3
