              Before THOMAS, HAIRSTON, and JERRY SMITH, Administrative Patent Judges.                                  
              THOMAS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                     

                                           REQUEST FOR REHEARING                                                       
                     In a paper filed January 3, 2001, appellants request that we reconsider our decision              
              dated November 8, 2000, wherein we sustained only the rejection of claims 6 through 10                   
              under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  In that decision, we reversed the examiner's rejection of                        
              independent claims 13 and 14 and their respective dependent claims                                       
              2 through 5 and 12.   Appellants' request for rehearing sets forth three basic points.                   


                                                          1
