          Appeal No. 1999-0418                                       Page 9           
          Application No. 08/517,036                                                  


          been desirable in Arnett's memory cell such that teachings                  
          from the prior art would have suggested the combination.  The               
          addition of Argos, Rohrer, Yamazaki, and Agostinelli does not               
          cure the defect.  Therefore, we reverse the rejection of                    
          claims 1, 4, 6, 7, and 10 as obvious over Arnett in view of                 
          Argos and Paz; the rejection of claims 2, 8, 9, and 11 as                   
          obvious over Arnett in view of Argos and Paz further in view                
          of Rohrer; the rejection of claim as obvious over Arnett in                 
          view of Argos and Paz further in view of Yamazaki; and the                  
          rejection of claim 5 as obvious over Arnett in view of Argos                
          and Paz further in view of Agostinelli.                                     


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejection of claims 1-11 under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103(a) is reversed.
