Appeal No. 2001-0462
Application 08/885,325
the art in non-virtual memory environments. It is noted,
however, that Akyürek has provided teachings according to Topic 8
beginning at page 116 of applying his invention to a well-known
prior art virtual memory system associated with DEC computers.
It is stated at the end of representative independent claim
20 on appeal that the method of that claim has an aim to improve
overall access time for disk-based systems. This is essentially
what the overall aim of Akyürek is as set forth in the abstract
and in the introductory paragraph at Topic 1 of page 89 of his
article. The disclosed and claimed invention as well as Akyürek
itself are reminiscent to us of conventional disk file
defragmentation concepts well-known to the artisan.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner
rejecting claims 1, 3-14, 16-32, and 34-38 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
is affirmed.
