WILLIAM F. SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.
ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING
In the original decision and supporting opinion entered on January 30, 2002, we
reversed two rejections and vacated a third. It is the latter action which appellants
request rehearing. Specifically, appellants ask:
1 Senior Administrative Patent Judge (SAPJ) McKelvey served on the merits
panel which rendered the original decision in this appeal. Subsequent thereto, SAPJ
McKelvey retired from the USPTO. Accordingly, Vice Chief Administrative Patent
Judge Harkcom has been designated as a member of the merits panel to decide this
request. Compare In re Bose Corp., 772 F.2d 866, 227 USPQ 1 (Fed. Cir. 1985).
