Appeal No. 1998-3359 Application 08/572,347 suggestion to combine prior art references. In re Dembiczak, 175 F.3d 994, 1000-01, 50 USPQ2d 1614, 1617-19 (Fed. Cir. 1999). We fail to find that either DiGiulio or Salazar contains any teachings or suggestions of modifying DiGiulio’s complex priority system to a first discrete time interval divided such that there is sufficient time to allow completion of the machine control algorithms. Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 5. In view of the foregoing, the Examiner’s decision is reversed. REVERSED ERROL A.
