                                  _________________                                   
          Before FRANKFORT, MCQUADE, and NASE, Administrative Patent                  
          Judges.                                                                     
          Per curiam                                                                  
                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Gerard Jay Bellasalma et al. originally took this appeal               
          from the final rejection (mailed March 18, 2003) of claims 1                
          through 22 and 26 through 31.  Since then, the appellants have              
          canceled claims 13 and 15, and the examiner has withdrawn all               
          rejections of claims 11, 22, 27 and 29 which currently stand                
          objected to as depending from rejected claims.  Hence, the appeal           
          now involves claims 1 through 10, 12, 14, 16 through 21, 26, 28,            
          30 and 31.                                                                  
                                          1
