         Appeal No. 1998-3411                                                    
         Application No. 08/548,113                                              

         However, the above language in claim 1 of Bederman is not a             
         teaching that either processor 5 or 6 can become temporarily a          
         master processor such that processor 5 can access either memory 2       
         or 4 in addition to its own memory 3 or that processor 6 can            
         access either memory 2 or 3 in addition to its own memory 4.  To        
         the contrary, in his ABSTRACT Bederman specifically teaches that        
         two of the three processing units can access its own memory but         
         not any other memory.                                                   
         Whereas claims 12 and 13 dependent from claim 11, and we will           
         not sustain the rejection of claim 11 over Persaud and Bederman as      
         stated above, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 12 and        
         13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Persaud, Bederman and          
         Hughes.
