                 Before KIMLIN, WEIFFENBACH and WARREN, Administrative Patent Judges.                                                                   

                 WARREN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                                   
                                                                Decision on Appeal                                                                      
                          This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner finally rejecting                                   
                 claims 1 through 17.  Claims 12 through 15 have not been argued by appellants (principal brief, page 1)                                
                 and, thus, we dismiss the appeal as to these claims. Accordingly, only claims 1 through 11, 16 and 17                                  
                 remain for our consideration on appeal.  Claim 1 is illustrative of the claims on appeal:                                              
                          1.  An article of manufacture comprising (i) a plurality of electrical conductors having interstices                          
                 therebetween, each electrical conductor being surrounded by one or more layers of a mixture                                            
                 comprising one or more polyolefins and the reaction product of (a) a functionalized hindered amine amic                                
                                                                                                                                                       
                 1  Application for patent filed May 26, 1992.                                                                                          

                                                                     - 1 -
