Appeal No. 1998-1476 Application No. 08/609,234 voice data recording region and supplies the detected data to sub- data address generator 25. It seems clear that if the system controller 7 of Maeda is detecting addresses and supplying the detected data to sub-data address generator 25 which, in turn, feeds RAM interface 19 [generator 25 and RAM interface 19 being part of the memory controller] for addressing RAM 6, the memory control means is not acting independently, or “autonomously with respect to the system controller,” in creating a sector data storing area, as claimed. Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 5 and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) is reversed. REVERSED ERROL A.
