DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1, 3 and 5,
which at that point were all of the claims remaining of record. Subsequently, claims 1 and
3 were canceled and claim 5 amended. Thus, claim 5 remains the only claim before us on
appeal.
We REVERSE.
