`
`NOTICE OF NEW OR REVISED PROJECTED PUBLICATION DATE
`
`The above-identified application has a new or revised projected publication date. The current projected
`publication date for this application is 06/05/2008. If this is a new projected publication date (there was no
`previous projected publication date), the application has been cleared by Licensing & Review or a secrecy
`order has been rescinded and the application is now in the publication queue.
`
`If this is a revised projected publication date (one that is different from a previously communicated
`projected publication date), the publication date has been revised due to processing delays in the USPTO
`or the abandonment and subsequent revival of an application. The application is anticipated to be
`published on a date that is more than six weeks different from the originally-projected publication date.
`
`More detailed publication information is available through the private side of Patent Application Information
`Retrieval (PAIR) System. The direct link to access PAIR is currently http://pair.uspto.gov. Further
`assistance in electronically accessing the publication, or about PAIR, is available by calling the Patent
`Electronic Business Center at 1-866-217-9197.
`
`Questions relating to this Notice should be directed to the Office of Patent Publication at 1-888-786-0101.
