                Application No. 09/177,695                                                                                                     

                appropriate action not inconsistent with the views expressed herein. We emphasize that                                         
                we vacate examiner’s rejections.  This means that the instant rejection no longer exists                                       
                and the issues set forth herein cannot be satisfied by a Supplemental Examiner’s                                               
                Answer.  See Ex parte Zambrano, 58 USPQ2d 1312, 1313 (Bd. Pat. App. & Int. 2000).
