DECISION ON APPEAL
Robert E. Thompson et al. (Appellants) appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 23-25, 29-38, 42, 44-47, and
50-59. Claims 1-22, 26-28, 39-41, 48, and 49 have been canceled. Claim 43
is still pending but has not been rejected1 and thus is not involved in this
appeal. We have jurisdiction over this appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 6.
We AFFIRM.
1 Although the Final Rejection (mailed May 26, 2004) states on page 1 that
claim 43 is rejected, there is no rejection of claim 43 in the Final Rejection.
