of program execution.” Col. 16, ll. 44-48. The examiner has
not shown, however, that the programs stored in the ROM are
for the DSPM or that the programs are downloaded from the ROM
to the DSPM RAM. Relying on Diamondstein only to “teach[] the
application of a core processor to digital processors which
‘includes microprocessors, microcontrollers, and digital
signal processors (DSP)’ (col. 2, lines 50-60)[,]” (Examiner's
Answer at 5), the examiner fails to allege, let alone show,
that the reference cures the deficiency of Intrater.
Because the examiner has not shown that the programs
stored in the ROM are for the DSPM or that the programs are
downloaded from the ROM to the DSPM RAM, we are not persuaded
that teachings from the prior art would have suggested the
limitations of "a data memory shared by said main DSP and one
or more auxiliary DSPs, a main DSP program memory storing
program date of said main DSP and processing instructions to
be executed by said auxiliary
DSP; and a separate auxiliary DSP program memory mapped into
the memory space of said main DSP for storing said processing
