          Appeal No. 96-0555                                                          
          Application No. 08/156,741                                                  


          the final rejection, however, claim 5 has been canceled (Paper              
          No. 6) and the examiner has withdrawn the final rejection of                
          claims 1-4, 6 and 7, having been convinced by the appellant's               
          arguments that they are allowable (Paper No. 11).  Therefore,               
          only claims 8 and 9 are before us on appeal.                                
               The appellant's invention is directed to an electrical                 
          connection system.  The claims on appeal can be found in an                 
          appendix to the Brief.
