Appeal 2007-0357
Application 10/180,862
Moreover, the primary reference relied upon by the Examiner to Intel was
admitted to be known in the art to permit sound devices and modems to be
connected to this bus by the additional use of a prior art I/O bridge by the
use of connectors.
The Specification’s detailed description makes use of OADG (Open
Architecture Developer’s Group) as noted at page 11 of the Specification as
filed. The ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus structure was also
utilized, in addition to the already noted PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect). Page 5 of the Answer notes that the claimed I/O bridge as set
forth in claims 5 through 9 and 18 through 20 was discussed at Specification
page 13, lines 12 through 14 to include a core chip, an arithmetic processing
portion, an arithmetic processor and a controlling portion. The earlier noted
prior art mini PCI connector relates to the claimed expansion device
accommodating portion in various claims as well as the modem card
accommodating portion. The middle of page 14 of the Specification as filed
additionally indicates that the mini PCI is a PCI standard for mobile devices
and was published as a standard in the art. The details of the I/O bridge are
also set forth in the paragraph bridging Specification pages 14 and 15. The
recitation of the GPO line extending from the bridge also appears to be a
part of the prior art bridge structure.
