Appeal No. 97-2547 Application 07/949,042 paragraph 15). In summary: a) the appellants’ request for reconsideration of our earlier decision wherein we sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 21 and 26 is denied; and b) the decision of the examiner to reject claim 48 in the current appeal is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). Should the appellants elect to file a request for reconsideration pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.197(b) with respect to the sustained rejection of claim 48, this decision will be treated as non-final for purposes of seeking judicial review until such time as the request for reconsideration is disposed of.
