          Appeal No. 2000-2067                                                          
          Application No. 08/859,278                                                    

          the claimed separate processors found in claim 1 and thereby                  
          included in the limitations of claims 3 and 6.  Therefore, we                 
          will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 3 and 6.                  
               We also note that in rejecting claim 5 under 35 U.S.C.                   
          § 103, which is dependent on independent claim 1, the Examiner                
          further applied the Enoki reference to the combination of the                 
          Cohen-Skalli, Kawamata and Hirota references.  However, we find               
          nothing in the Enoki reference that provides any suggestion for               
          overcoming the Cohen-Skalli, Kawamata and Hirota references’                  
          deficiency of failing to teach the claimed separate processors                
          found in claim 1 and thereby included in the limitations of claim             
          5.  Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of                
          claim 5.                                                                      












                                           99
