               Appeal No. 2006-1303                                                                                                  
               Application No. 10/000,667                                                                                            


               instructions.  Merely because it may be well known that computer instructions in a program are                        
               in sequential order, this does not suggest the claimed arrangement whereby portions                                   
               of that sequential order of instructions are stored in separate independently addressable memory                      
               banks.                                                                                                                
                       The rejection of claims 6, 7, 9, 22, and 23 under 35 U.S.C. §102 (b) is reversed.                             
               Moreover, since Colwell does not provide for the deficiencies of Davis, the rejection of claims                       
               10, 11, 13-15, 18, 19, 21, 24, and 25 under 35 U.S.C. §103 is also reversed.                                          
                       The examiner’s decision is reversed.
