Appeal No. 2003-2108 Application No. 08/881,123 The anticipation rejection of claims 7 through 12, 18 and 19 is reversed because Craft does not deactivate “the acknowledgment signal upon the deactivation of the access actuation signal” (brief, page 9). As indicated supra, the two signals are a single signal in Craft, and are deactivated in unison. The anticipation rejection of claim 13 is reversed because Craft does not “subsequently deactivate the generated acknowledgment signal if the access actuation signal is deactivated.” The anticipation rejection of claims 14 and 20 is reversed because Craft does not “generate and transmit the access request signal to said memory controller in response to the generation of the corresponding acknowledgment signal.” 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
