DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final
rejection of claims 3, 4, and 5, which are all of the
claims pending in this application.1
The subject matter on appeal is illustrated in claim 3,
which reads as follows:
1 We note that the examiner has withdrawn his 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph objection of the specification (this objection was set forth
on pages 2-3 of the final Office Action of Paper No. 5) because this
objection was not raised in the examiner’s Answer.
