          JERRY SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.                                   

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL

          concurrently with the appeal brief has cancelled claim 7.                   
          Accordingly, this appeal now involves claims 5, 6 and 8.

          for a Universal Serial Bus (USB).
