REQUEST FOR REHEARING
In a decision dated March 13, 2001, the decision of the
examiner rejecting claims 1 through 8, 17, and 18 under 35
U.S.C. § 103 was affirmed.
Appellant argues (Request, pages 1-2) that the Board
failed to separately address claim 8, though appellant stated
in the grouping of the claims that claim 8 was to fall
independently from the other claims. However, claim 8 was not
argued separately from the other claims as required by 37 CFR
