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. 10Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
