                  Appeal No. 2006-1077                                                                                          
                  Application No.10/034,907                                                                                     

                          Because the examiner has failed to cite any references, either alone or in                            
                  combination, which teach a fabric having the limitations recited in each of claims 11-19,                     
                  we reverse each of the prior art rejections.                                                                  
                          It is important that the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences be informed                        
                  promptly of any action affecting the status of the appeal (i.e., abandonment, issue,                          
                  reopening prosecution).
