DECISION ON APPEAL
Appellants seek review under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final
rejection of claims 21, 25, 27, 33, 34, 37, 40, 41, and 51-60, all of
the then-pending claims. Appellants subsequently amended several
claims, canceled claims 56-60, and added claims 61 and 62 (Paper 33
(Amdt. filed 7 Nov. 1994)). Existing rejections were extended to new
claims 61 and 62. We affirm the rejection of claims 21, 25, 27, 33,
34, 37, 40, 54, and 55, but reverse the rejection of claims 41, 51-
53, 61, and 62.
