            Appeal No. 2006-1631                                                                      
            Application No. 10/317,759                                                                

                  would have been obvious to optimize (for the purposes                               
                  disclosed by Spitsberg) the amount of Spitsberg’s BSAS                              
                  to fall within the claimed range.                                                   
                  This remand to the examiner pursuant to 37 CFR                                      
            § 41.50(a)(1) (effective September 13, 2004, 69 Fed. Reg. 49960                           
            (August 12, 2004), 1286 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 21 (September 7,                            
            2004)) is made for further consideration of a rejection.                                  
            Accordingly, 37 CFR § 41.50(a)(2) applies if a supplemental                               
            examiner's answer is written in response to this remand by the                            
            Board.                                                                                    
















                                                 -5-
