          TIMM, Administrative Patent Judge                                           
               concurring-in-part, dissenting-in-part                                 
               While I concur in the decision of my colleagues with                   
          regard to the reversal of the rejection under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102              
          and 103 over McElroy, I dissent from the affirmance of the                  
          rejection made under the judicially created doctrine of                     
          obviousness-type double patenting.  For the following reasons,              
          I would reverse the obviousness-type double patenting                       
          rejection as well.                                                          
               According to the Examiner, the obviousness-type double                 
                                         15
