          Appeal No. 1998-1343                                                        
          Application No. 08/154,695                                                  


          rejection of claim 9 relates to the data output control signal              
          being generated by the CPU (see Brief, page 9).  However, no                
          such limitation appears in claim 9.  A data output control                  
          signal need only be generated, but not by any particular                    
          element.  Consequently, appellant's argument for claim 9 is                 
          not persuasive.  Therefore, we will affirm the rejection of                 
          claim 9.                                                                    
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 6, 7,10,                 
          and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)is reversed.  The decision of                
          the examiner rejecting claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)is                   
          affirmed.                                                                   
















                                          9
