           invention to be anticipated by Hartmann.                                                  
                                             DECISION                                                
                 The rejection of claims 1-7, 9-17 and 19-25 under                                   
           35 U.S.C. § 102(b) over Hartmann is affirmed.                                             














                 No time period for taking any subsequent action in                                  
           connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR

                                                 6
