Because the descriptions of Appellants' figures 2 and 3A are in the "Background of the Invention" section of Appellant's Specification, and particularly because Figures 2 and 3A are expressly described with the adjective "conventional" (i.e., designating the work of another), we find this disclosed subject matter is available as prior art by admission.1
1. A statement by an applicant in the Specification or made during prosecution identifying the work of another as "prior art" is an admission which can be relied upon for both anticipation and obviousness determinations, regardless of whether the admitted prior art would otherwise qualify as prior art under the statutory categories of 35 U.S.C. 102.
