               Application No. 09/802,857                                                                                           

                       a central processing unit receiving said plurality of coincidence signals,                                   
               wherein said central processing unit:                                                                                
                       executes one of a plurality of debugging programs stored within random                                       
               access memory when said one of said plurality of coincidence signals indicates a                                     
               coincidence of said program address and said one of said plurality of bug addresses,                                 

                       executes another of said plurality of debugging programs stored within said                                  
               random access memory when said another of said plurality of coincidence signals                                      
               indicates a coincidence of said program address and said another of said plurality of                                
               bug addresses, and                                                                                                   
                       executes said program stored within said program memory when said                                            
               plurality of coincidence signals indicates a non-coincidence of said program                                         
               address and any of said plurality of bug addresses.                                                                  
                       The following references are relied on by the examiner:                                                      
                       Sagane         5,454,100                                                Sep. 26, 1995                       
               Hosotani               5,701,506                                                Dec. 23, 1997                       
                       Claims 13 through 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of                                   
               obviousness, the examiner relies upon Sagane in view of Hosotani.                                                    
                       Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the examiner, reference                               
               is made to the supplemental brief and reply brief for appellants’ positions, and to                                  
               the answer and supplemental answer (mailed on May 22, 2006) for the examiner’s                                       
               positions.
