          Appeal No. 2001-0099                                                        
          Application No. 09/042,431                                                  


               Regarding any affirmed rejection, 37 CFR § 1.197(b)                    
          provides:                                                                   
               (b) Appellant may file a single request for                            
               rehearing within two months from the date of the                       
               original decision . . . .                                              
               The effective date of the affirmance is deferred until                 
          conclusion of the proceedings before the examiner unless, as a              
          mere incident to the limited proceedings, the affirmed                      
          rejection is overcome.  If the proceedings before the examiner              
          do not result in allowance of the application, abandonment or               
          a second appeal, this case should be returned to the Board of               
          Patent Appeals and Interferences for final action on the                    
          affirmed rejections, including any timely request for                       
          rehearing thereof.                                                          














                                         19
