          THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge, Concurring:                            
                    I fully concur in the reasoning, findings and                     
          conclusions of my colleagues in affirming-in-part the                       
          rejection of certain claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102.  Even under              
          this section and certainly within the provisions of 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103, I would add separately that the first column of page                 
          492 of the reference to Tsuruta indicates that the "actor                   
          models a scheduling expert, or his reasoning process, that is,              
          models dynamic knowledge or somewhat active acknowledge."                   
          This teaching provides additional dimensions of understanding               
          from an artisan's perspective of the nature and types of                    
          knowledge that may be applied against the broadly defined                   
          element knowledge and harmonizing knowledge of the claims on                
          appeal.                                                                     
                    Additionally, from my study of the disclosed and                  
          claimed invention, I conclude that all pending claims 1 to 25
