          Application No. 09/207,972                                                  

          that this patent is available as prior art against the claims on            
          appeal (Answer, page 5; Brief, page 4; Reply Brief, page 3).                
          Accordingly, we remand this application to the jurisdiction of the          
          examiner for appellants and the examiner to reconsider the                  
          patentability of the claimed subject matter in view of Kizilyalli           
          ‘854, Wu and Chou.  Prosecution must be reopened if any new ground          
          of rejection is entered by the examiner.  See 37 CFR § 1.193                
          (2000).                                                                     


















                                          6
