             Appeal No. 2006-3062                                                                               
             Application No. 09/861,153                                                                         

             0122, 0136 through 0141).  The parsed address is compared with a stored address                    
             in a storage/index table to retrieve a corresponding address format for the                        
             international shipping address (paragraphs 0059, 0062, 0063).  As stated in                        
             paragraph 0063, the user-entered address information is “broken up into individual                 
             address fields” (i.e., parsed) and is provided as the address fields input 323 to                  
             system 310 where the parsed address is compared to the required address                            
             information 321 for the country (Figure 3).  Any errors in the address are indicated               
             in the outputs from the system 310.  A similar explanation of the parsing and                      
             comparing operations in the Yu system can be found in paragraphs 0119, 0138 and                    
             0140.  The parsing operation per se is described in paragraphs 0117 through 0122                   
             and 0136 through 0141 of Yu.  The storage/index tables of address information are                  
             described in detail in paragraphs 0115, 0119 and 0189 through 0192 of Yu.  After                   
             the parsing, comparing and error correcting operations, Yu generates a properly                    
             formatted shipping address (Abstract; paragraph 0011).                                             
                   In sustaining a multiple reference rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), the                   
             Board may rely on one reference alone without designating it as a new ground of                    
             rejection.  In re Bush, 296 F. 491, 496, 131 USPQ 263, 266-67 (CCPA 1961); In re                   


                                                       4
