         Appeal No. 2006-2434                                                       
         Application No. 10/197,148                                                 
         file before us.  We have attempted to independently obtain those           
         missing pages. Such attempt was not successful either.  In light           
         of the fact that the cited pages are not readily available for us          
         to perform a meaningful review of the present issues on appeal in          
         the instant application, we are remanding the application to the           
         Examiner.                                                                  

              If the Examiner wishes to maintain the instant rejection,             
         the Examiner must accordingly provide a supplemental Examiner’s            
         Answer in which the Examiner provides us with copies of all the            
         pages for each reference relied upon in the rejections.                    

                                     CONCLUSION                                     
              This remand to the Examiner pursuant to 37 CFR § 41.50(a)(1)          
         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.
