          Appeal No. 2002-2073                                                        
          Application No. 09/210,104                                Page 15           


          the program and detecting and correcting the malfunction only in            
          response to a determination that a malfunction has occurred, the            
          rejection of independent claims 9 and 17, as well as claims 10,             
          11, 14-18, and 22-24, dependent therefrom, is reversed.                     
               We turn next to the rejection of claims 4, 5, 12, 13, 20,              
          and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over Borchardt in           
          view of Mann, and further in view of Alexander.  We reverse the             
          rejection of claim 4, 5, 12, 13, 20, and 21 under 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 103(a) because Alexander does not make up for the basic                   
          deficiencies of Borchardt and Mann.
