DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final
rejection of claims 1 through 12. The ground of rejection set
forth in the final rejection of claim 3 (Paper No. 8, mailed
January 23, 1998) was not repeated in the examiner's answer,
therefore, we assume that the rejection of claim 3 has been
withdrawn by the examiner.1
