                  Appeal 2007-1724                                                                                           
                  Application 10/284,347                                                                                     

                  upon the “days to threshold” value as the claimed value assigned to each                                   
                  individual summary (Answer 14).  We agree with the Examiner that the days                                  
                  to threshold value is an assigned value by the system of Engel.  Therefore,                                
                  we find that the Examiner has identified a teaching and Appellant has not                                  
                  identified that the Examiner erred in the initial showing.  Therefore, we will                             
                  sustain the rejection of independent claim 1 and independent claims 10 and                                 
                  19, which Appellant has elected to group with independent claim 1.                                         
                                                                                                                            
                                                     CONCLUSION                                                              
                         To summarize, we have sustained the rejection of claims 1-22 under                                  
                  35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
