DECISION ON APPEAL
Appellants have appealed to the Board under 35 U.S.C. §134 from the examiner’s
non-final rejection in Paper No. 21 dated September 16, 1998. The appeal is proper
since the claims have been twice rejected within this statutory provision. Of the pending
claims 1-46 in the application, the examiner has allowed claims 9-17, 21-29 and 44-46
