ON BRIEF

Before DOWNEY, GARRIS and WARREN, Administrative Patent Judges.
WARREN, Administrative Patent Judge.
Decision on Appeal and Opinion
This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner finally rejecting
claims 1 and 3 through 7.1
We have carefully considered the record before us, and based thereon, find that we cannot
sustain the ground of rejection of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Bauer set forth in the
1 See specification, pages 17-18, and the amendment of February 23, 1996 (Paper No. 15).
