ON BRIEF
_______________
Before KIMLIN, JOHN DOUGLAS SMITH and PAK, Administrative
Patent Judges.
KIMLIN, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 6-
14. Claim 15, the other claim remaining in the present
application, stands withdrawn from consideration. Since the
examiner has withdrawn the rejection of claims 6-14 under 35
U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, and only claims 6, 8, 10 and 12
remain rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103, appellant's appeal of
claims 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14 is moot. The examiner has
indicated the allowability of claims 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14.
