                GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                          


                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                                   
                      This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involving claims to a                           
                post-tensioning system for concrete structures.  The Examiner has rejected                    
                the claims as anticipated and obvious.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C.                  
                § 6(b).  We reverse the anticipation rejection, vacate the appealed                           
                obviousness rejections, and enter new obviousness rejections under 37                         
                C.F.R. § 41.50(b).
