RUGGIERO, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal from the final rejection of
claims 13-22, which are all of the claims pending in the present
application. Since Appellants indicate (Brief, page 1) that the
rejection of claims 13 and 16 is not being appealed, the appeal as
to those claims is hereby dismissed. Accordingly, only the
Examiner’s rejection of claims 14, 15, and 17-22 is before us on
appeal.
