DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal from the examiner’s final
rejection of claims 7 through 12 in the above-identified
broadened reissue application. All of the remaining claims in
this reissue application, namely claims 1 through 6 (which are
the original patent claims), have been allowed.1
1 As noted in the examiner’s answer (see page 2) appellants’ brief
incorrectly states on page 2 that no claims are pending in the
application. Contrary to this statement, claims 1 through 12 are pending
in this application.
