     31        This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134(b) from the final                
     32   rejection of claims 27-29 of this reexamination.  Claims 1, 3-5,              
     33   7, 9-18, 22, 23, and 26 have been cancelled.  The Examiner has                
     34   confirmed the patentability of claims 2, 6, 8, 19-21, 24, and 25.             
     35   The Examiner has also found new claim 30 to be patentable.  Thus,             
     36   only claims 27-29 are before us on this appeal.
