DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s final
rejection of claims 1-7 and 10-16.1
We reverse.
1 The instant application was filed on April 16, 1998, having 14 claims numbered 1-7 and 10-16.
Claims 10-16 should have been renumbered as claims 8-14, pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.75(f). However, in
this decision we will refer to the claims as they are referenced by the examiner and appellant; i.e., claims
1-7 and 10-16.
