              Before WILLIAM F. SMITH, MILLS, and GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judges.                                        

              WILLIAM F. SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                   

                                                 DECISION ON APPEAL1                                                           
                      This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final rejection of claims 28 and                        
              29.  Claims 28 and 29 read as follows:                                                                           






                      1  The Examiner’s Answer was mailed on May 4, 1994.  For reasons not clear from                          
              the record, the file was not forwarded to the Board until July 2001. In view of the delay in the                 
              case being forwarded to the Board, we have taken the case up for decision out of turn.                           
                                                              1
