                                     ______________

                                 Application 08/506,032                               
                                    _______________                                   
                              REMAND                                                  
                                    _______________                                   
          Before THOMAS, JERRY SMITH and LEVY, Administrative Patent Judges.          
          THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        
                                                                                     
                               ORDER VACATING REJECTION                               
                             AND REMANDING TO THE EXAMINER                            
               Pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.196(a) and the Manual of Patent                 
          Examining Procedure (MPEP) § 1211, this application is remanded to          
          the examiner for appropriate action with respect to the matters             
          discussed below.  Because the present rejection of the claims on            
          appeal is considered by us to be not appropriate and not ripe for           
          our review, we VACATE the rejection of the claims on appeal under           

                                            1
