DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 113
through 138. These claims constitute all of the claims
remaining in the application.
1This application is a continuation of application
07/872,819, filed April 24, 1992, now U.S. Patent No.
5,259,129. In this application, it appears that an earlier
obviousness-type double patenting rejection (Paper No. 10)
may have been withdrawn in light of the filing of a terminal
disclaimer (Paper No 11). However, the face of the file and
the record in the application do not specify entry of the
terminal disclaimer.
