          Application 10/042,738                                                      


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
                    In summary, we reverse each of the examiner’s § 102 and           
          § 103 rejections, and we remand the application under review to             
          the examiner.                                                               
                    This remand to the examiner pursuant to 37 CFR                    
          § 41.50(a)(1) (effective September 13, 2004, 69 Fed. Reg. 49960             
          (August 12, 2004), 1286 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 21 (September 7,              
          2004)) is made for further consideration of a rejection.                    
          Accordingly, 37 CFR § 41.50(a)(2) applies if a supplemental                 
          examiner's answer is written in response to this remand by the              
          Board.
