`A certificate of correction is respectfully requested in the above-identified patent.
`The following errors have been made:
`Item (56) References Cited, Foreign Patent Documents, the reference, "EP
`0827110 9/1998" is incorrect. As set forth in the Information Disclosure Statement filed with the
`United States Patent & Trademark Office on August 28, 2009, the correct reference should read,
`-- EP 0827110 3/1998--.
`In the claims, column 16, issued claim 9, line 53, "for a request received from the
`encoder when the request" is incorrect. The correct line should read, -- for a request received
`from the decoder when the request--.
`In the claims, column 18, issued claim 15, line 16, "shared memory for a request
`received from the video encoder" is incorrect. The correct line should read, -- shared memory for
`a request received from the video decoder--.
`

`made, by reference to the item or column and line numbers in the printed patent. The Director is
`hereby authorized to charge payment of any fees associated with this communication to Deposit

`
`The following is an examiner's statement of reasons for allowance:
`
`The prior art taken singly or in combination does not teach or suggest, an electronics
`
`system, among other things, comprising:
`
`an arbiter circuit coupled to the processor and to the video circuit, the arbiter
`circuit configured to receive requests for access to the main memory from the video circuit and
`the processor and to control access to the main memory by:
`providing access to the main memory for a request for access to the main memory when
`the arbiter circuit is in an idle state;
`queuing a request for access to the main memory when the arbiter circuit is in a busy
`state; and
`queuing a request for access to the main memory in an order based on a priority of the
`request and a priority of each of one or more other requests for access to the main memory that
`are currently queued when the arbiter circuit is in a queue state (claim 1 );
`
`an arbiter included in the memory interface circuit of the decoder and coupled to the
`memory interface circuit of the central processing unit, the arbiter configured to control access to
`the memory by determining a priority for requests to access the memory, each of the requests
`received from one of the decoder and the central processing unit, and providing access to the
`memory based on the determined prio
