         Appeal No. 2006-2441                                                       
         Application No. 10/056,224                                                 

         Appellant. Further, Appellant argues that neither Levine nor               
         Razban, nor Mahalingaiah cures the noted deficiencies of the               
         Bunnell-Roeber combination. Our review of the cited references             
         indicates they are not concerned with providing a temporal                 
         identifier for each miss entry in a cache. One of ordinary skill           
         in the art, at the time of the present invention, would have thus          
         not found that these teachings, taken alone or in combination,             
         complement the Bunnell-Roeber’s system to yield the claimed step           
         of generating a temporal identifier for association with a probe           
         signal, and subsequently storing the probe signals with                    
         associated temporal identifiers. It is therefore our view, after           
         consideration of the record before us, that the evidence relied            
         upon and the level of skill in the particular art would not have           
         suggested to the ordinarily skilled artisan the invention as set           
         forth in claims 10 through 19.  Accordingly, we will not sustain           
         the Examiner’s rejection of claims 10 through 19.                          

                                  CONCLUSION                                        
              In view of the foregoing discussion, we have not sustained            
         the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 through 19 under 35             
         U.S.C. § 103.  Therefore, we reverse.                                      

                                         14
