               This is an appeal from the examiner's refusal to allow                   
          claims 26 through 34, 36 through 40, 42 through 78 and 80.

               The claimed invention is directed to an inflatable thermal               
          blanket.  Claim 26, reproduced below, is further illustrative of              
          the claimed subject matter.
