                LINDA M. GAUDETTE, Administrative Patent Judges.

                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                                  
                                           Statement of the Case                                             
                      This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from a final rejection of                      
                claims 11-14.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6.                                     
                      Appellant's invention relates to an apparatus for producing carbon                     
                black.  According to Appellant, the apparatus of the present invention                       
                produces carbon black wherein the introduction of additional oxidant and/or                  
                hydrocarbon containing fluid streams into the effluent increases the structure
