          Before THOMAS, FLEMING, and DIXON, Administrative Patent Judges.            
          THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        
                                                                                     
                                   DECISION ON APPEAL                                 

               Appellants have appealed to the Board from the examiner's              
          final rejection of claims 1-10 and 19-30.  Claims 11-18 have                
          been canceled.  Because the examiner has indicated at page 2                
          of the answer that rejections from this final rejection under               
          the both first and second paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. § 112 have                
          been withdrawn, claims 1-10 and 19-29 remain on appeal.  The                
          examiner's statement at page 2 of the answer that claims 1-10               
          and 19-28 remain on appeal is incorrect.
