          Appeal No. 2004-1608                                                         
          Application 09/752,873                                                       

          teachings of Brauer and Ayukawa suggest a plurality of decoders,             
          a tag unit and a plurality of control units connected together in            
          the manner recited in claim 23.                                              
          In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejection                       
          with respect to each of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the                
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 5, 6, 8-12 and 19-26 is            
          affirmed.                                                                    
          No time period for taking any subsequent action in                           
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                     
          § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
