JERRY SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-3, 7, 15-20 and 22-
24 . Pending claims 4-6, 8-14 and 21 have been indicated by1
1Although appellants’ brief does not list claim 19 as
being appealed, this appears to be an oversight. Therefore,
we will treat the rejection of claim 19 as being appealed
along with the other rejected claims.
