                Appeal 2007-0320                                                                                 
                Application 09/945,339                                                                           

                       In summary, there is at least some evidence of record supporting the                      
                Examiner’s assertion that that the claimed invention is anticipated by Waller,                   
                but that evidence has not been addressed or presented in a manner that gives                     
                Appellants a full and fair opportunity to respond.  Accordingly we remand                        
                the application to the Examiner to take appropriate action based on the                          
                issues discussed above.  Any further communication from the Examiner                             
                which contains a rejection of the claims should provide Appellants with a                        
                full and fair opportunity to respond.
