Appeal No. 2005-2618
Application No. 10/060,494
REMAND TO THE EXAMINER
Pursuant to our authority under 37 CFR § 41.50(a)(1), we
remand this application to the Examiner to consider rejecting
claims 1-13 over the Appellant’s admitted prior art (AAPA) in The
Background of Invention section (¶ 0004), alone or in combination
with additional prior art.
We observe that AAPA describes a data card including a light
emitter in the form of an alphanumeric liquid crystal display for
displaying the stored information. An operator may request
display of information related to the process and the container.
We also note that although the operator has to request the
information by pressing buttons and/or toggling through lines of
stored data to find the desired information, nonetheless,
predetermined information is visually and directly conveyed to a
human operator by the at least one light emitter or the liquid
crystal display.
