          Appeal No. 2003-1110                                                        
          Application No. 09/295,439                                                  

          being cleared prior to (not after) an availability of a result              
          from a second instruction.                                                  
               We therefore find that the examiner has not carried the                
          burden of establishing a prima facie case of anticipation of the            
          appellants’ claimed invention.                                              
                                      DECISION                                        
                    The rejection of claims 27-48 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)            
          over Nguyen is reversed.
