DECISION ON APPEAL
Appellants originally appealed from the examiner's rejection of claims 1-30,
which are all of the claims pending in this application. In the examiner’s answer (Paper
No. 21), however, the examiner withdrew the rejections of claims 19-22 and indicated
them to be allowable (see page 3). This appeal thus involves only claims 1-18 and 23-
30.
We AFFIRM-IN-PART.
