We refer to the Final Rejection (Paper No. 7) (pages

Examiner's position and to the Appeal Brief (Paper No. 13)
(pages referred to as "Br__") and the Reply Brief (Paper
No. 16) (pages referred to as "RBr__") for a statement of
Appellant's arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
Since claim 37 parallels rejected claim 30, it appears3
that the statement of the rejection should include claim 37.
Appellant has assumed that claim 37 is included in the
rejection.
