          CALVERT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 2 to              
          4 and 8 to 12, all the claims remaining in the application.                 
               The claims on appeal are drawn to a method of joining a
