          Appeal No. 2000-1887                                                         
          Application No. 08/853,075                                                   


          with the subband adaptive filter arrangement of Sugiyama and form            
          the claimed selectively increasing or decreasing the number of               
          weighting coefficients and allocating system resources, are not              
          shown.                                                                       
               We note that independent claims 13, 14 and 23, similar to               
          claim 1, recite a signal processing arrangement and method that              
          require selectively increasing or decreasing the number of                   
          weighting coefficients and allocating system resources.                      
          Furthermore, independent claims 24 and 25, similar to the                    
          arrangement of claim 1, require means for selectively increasing             
          or decreasing the number of weighting coefficients and allocating            
          system resources.  Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection            
          of independent claims 1, 13, 14, 23, 24 and 25 as well as claims             
          2-12, 15-22 and 26-29, which are dependent therefrom, under 35               
          U.S.C. § 103(a) over Horna in view of Sugiyama.
