          Appeal No. 2001-0688                                                        
          Application No. 08/689,721                                Page 14           

                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims            
          11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed.              
          In addition, we remand the case to the examiner for action                  
          consistent with our findings.                                               
               This application, by virtue of its "special" status,                   
          requires an immediate action, see Manual of Patent Examining                
          Procedure (MPEP) § 708.01(d) (Eigth Edition, August 2001).  It is           
          important that the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences be             
          promptly informed of any action affecting the appeal in this                
          case.                                                                       
                                REVERSED AND REMANDED
