                             Application No. 10/263,671                               
                                     ___________                                      
                                HEARD: APRIL 25, 2006                                 
                                     ___________                                      
          Before PAK, OWENS, and FRANKLIN, Administrative Patent Judges.              
          FRANKLIN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                      

                               REMAND TO THE EXAMINER                                 
               A review of the record presently before us leads us to                 
          conclude that this case is not in condition for a decision on               
          appeal.  Accordingly, we remand this application to the                     
          examiner, via the Office of the Director of the involved                    
          Technology Center, to consider the following issues and to take             
          action not inconsistent with the views expressed herein.                    
               Claims 1 through 5 and 7 through 22 stand rejected under 35            
          U.S.C. § 103 as being obvious over Daniel, Jr., Pattilloch, or              
          Bartelloni.                                                                 
               With specific regard to Bartelloni, re-evaluation of this              
          reference is in order, as follows.
