          Appeal No. 2003-1955                                                        
          Application 09/447,544                                                      


               Upon our review of Brownlow, we find that only the function            
          circuit 30 shown in figure 5 can properly be read as the                    
          redundant circuit.  We agree with the Appellant that the Examiner           
          erred in finding that the verification signal generator is part             
          of the redundant circuit.  Therefore, we fail to find that                  
          Brownlow teaches at least one redundant circuit, adapted for                
          selectively accessing each of said columns and communicating data           
          with said interface; a test circuit, for comparing data                     
          communicated by a respective one of said circuits and the                   
          redundant circuit; and means for selectively logically replacing            
          a respective circuit with said redundant circuit, as recited in             
          Appellant’s claims 1 through 10.
