structure that imposes a physical organization of data that
supports specific data manipulation functions. See, In re Lowry,
at 1034.
We note that Appellant's claim 31 is directed to a data
structure, an IrDA protocol stack, incorporated in at least one
of said transceiver and host that provides the function of
establishing a physical IR link between a transceiver device and
a host. Therefore, we find that Appellant's claims 31 through 36
recites an article of manufacture and thereby meets the
requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 101.
