          Application 08/532,225                                                      


          IEEE Micro, June 1991, pages 10-13 and 63-73.                               
          Claims 1-10, 12 and 13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.                       
          § 103 as being unpatentable over the teachings of Shebanow in               
          view of Popescu and further in view of Nguyen.  Claims 29, 30               
          and 34 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                        
          unpatentable over the teachings of Popescu in view of Nguyen.               
          Claims 31-33, 35 and 36 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103                
          as being unpatentable over the teachings of Popescu in view of              
          Nguyen and further in view of Shebanow.                                     
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support              
          for the rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken                  
          into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’               
          arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner’s                  
          rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in                     
          rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.                                
                                          3
