               Application 10/439,947                                                                                             

               claims, as we have interpreted the claims above, to one of ordinary skill in this art within the                   
               meaning of   35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                                                                                   
                      Accordingly, the examiner is required to take appropriate action consistent with current                    
               examining practice and procedure to consider whether a new ground or grounds of rejection                          
               should be entered on the record based on the above findings for purposes of further prosecution                    
               of the appealed claims, supplying and applying any other applicable prior art with respect to any                  
               or all of grounds as the examiner deems appropriate.                                                               
                      We hereby remand this application to the examiner, via the Office of a Director of the                      
               Technology Center, for appropriate action in view of the above comments.
