               Appeal 2007-3837                                                                            
               Application 10/631,897                                                                      

           1   the gating elements provide either signals in the parallel lines (when                      
           2   enabled) or otherwise zero (when disabled) to the adder 502 in response to                  
           3   control signals CO and C1 (FFs 4 and 9).  Applicant’s argument is                           
           4   insufficient to demonstrate error in the Examiner’s specific findings.                      
           5          For all of these reasons, the Examiner’s rejection of claim 5 is                     
           6   sustained.                                                                                  
           7          E.  Decision                                                                         
           8          Upon consideration of the record, and for the reasons given, the                     
           9   Examiner’s rejection is affirmed.                                                           
          10          The Examiner’s rejection of claims 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                     
          11   being anticipated by Christopher is affirmed.                                               
          12          No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                   
          13   this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) 2006.
