                         This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 10-12, 14-                                

                                 1

                         We interpret the examiner’s explanation of the status of amendments after final on page 2 of the1                                                                                                                   
                answer as indicating that appellant’s amendment to claim 24 filed June 14, 2000 (Paper No. 7) has been                        
                approved for entry by the examiner.  We also note, however, that this amendment has not been clerically                       
                entered.  Upon return of this application to the Technology Center, the examiner should take appropriate                      
                action to have the amendment entered.
