Appeal No. 1998-2513 Application No. 08/171,427 CONCLUSION Appellant has shown the rejection of dependent claims 9 and 14 to be erroneous, but has not shown reversible error in the rejection of claims 1-3, 5-8, 10-13, or 15. Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1-3, 5-8, 10-13, and 15 is affirmed, but the rejection of claims 9 and 14 is reversed. The examiner’s decision in rejecting claims 1-3 and 5-15 is thus affirmed-in-part. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
