          Appeal No. 2002-1173                                                         
          Application No. 09/510,640                                                   


          instruction.  As indicated by Appellants (oral hearing), since               
          the power-on reset of Hsieh used “to initialize the various                  
          components when power is first applied to the circuit” (col. 1,              
          lines 23-25) is also applied in the event of a power supply dip,             
          Hsieh does not repeat any of the operations influenced by the                
          dip.  The subject matter of claims 1 and 9 would not, therefore,             
          have been prima facie anticipated by Hsieh.  Accordingly, we do              
          not sustain the rejection of claims 1-9.                                     
























                                          8
