ON BRIEF

Before PAK, OWENS, and PAWLIKOWSKI, Administrative Patent Judges.
OWENS, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal is from the final rejection of claims 2-4, which
are all of the claims remaining in the application. In the
examiner’s answer (page 2) the examiner states that claim 3 is
objected to as being dependent upon a rejected claim, but would be
allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the
limitations of the claim from which it depends. Hence, the claims
before us are claims 2 and 4.
