          Appeal No. 1998-1119                                                        
          Application No. 08/482,924                                                  


          combined, the combined teachings of the references would still              
          require the storage of more than one other bit (e.g.,                       
          parity/marking) with the data word.  In short, the examiner                 
          has failed to present a prima facie case of obviousness.

               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 63 and 77                
          through 81 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
