                Appeal 2007-2467                                                                              
                Application 09/750,150                                                                        

                antecedent basis.  It appears that “the predicted value” refers to the earlier                
                recitation of “a prediction value.”                                                           
                      We also note a typographical error in the figures. Specifically, the                    
                “Next Value Table” (NVT 124) in FIG. 1 is mislabeled as “NUT 124.”                            
                      Being “basically a board of review,” Ex parte Gambogi, 62 USPQ2d                        
                1209, 1211 (B.P.A.I. 2001), however, we leave the question of                                 
                indefiniteness of claim 1 and typographical errors in the specification to the                
                Examiner and Appellants.                                                                      

                                                 V. ORDER                                                     
                      In summary, the rejection of claims 13-26 under § 102(b) is affirmed.                   
                The rejection of claims 1-12 under § 102(b) is reversed.                                      

                      No time for taking any action connected with this appeal may be                         
                extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
