          Appeal No. 2001-0214                                                        
          Application No. 08/826,283                                                  


               Thus, upon return of this application, the examiner is to              
          determine whether the above teachings of Verdone, as explained by           
          Hajna, affect the patentability of the subject matter defined by            
          claims 9, 11, and 20 under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 or 103.                         
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In view of the foregoing, we reverse the examiner’s decision           
          rejecting all of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 and              
          remand the application to the examiner to take appropriate action           
          consistent with the above instruction.                                      






















                                          7
