         Appeal No. 2006-0941                                                       
         Application No. 10/059,364                                                 
              Also, the appellants argue as though claim 20 requires that           
         the nylon sheath polymer has an amine group end content of less            
         than about 10 meq/kg (brief, page 5).  The amine group content of          
         the nylon sheath polymer is not recited in claim 20.  The                  
         appellants should determine whether claim 20 should include the            
         nylon sheath polymer’s amine end group content.                            
              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.
