           Judges.                                                                                   
           CAROFF, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                      
                                       DECISION ON APPEAL                                            
                 This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final                              
           rejection of claims 14, 31-34, and 36-47.  Subsequent to the                              
           final rejection, appellant was permitted to cancel claim 41.                              
           Additionally, appellant has indicated in his reply brief (page 3)                         
           that the appeal is withdrawn as to claim 38.  Accordingly, the                            
           appeal is dismissed as to claim 38.  Thus, the claims now before                          
           us for consideration are 14, 31-34, 36-37, 39-40 and 42-47.
