              Application No. 09/950,526

              Furthermore, at least one of the rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 101 is directed to                              
              whether or not the claims lie within the technological arts.  The evaluation of such                          
              claims could also be possibly affected by Ex parte Lundgren, 76 USPQ2d 1385 (Bd.                              
              Pat. App. & Int. 2005).  Thus, we hereby remand this application for reconsideration in                       
              view of the "Guidelines" and the recent Ex parte Lundgren decision cited above, and for                       
              any other action that the examiner deems appropriate.                                                         
                                                        REMAND
