ON BRIEF
____________
Before GARRIS, OWENS, and LIEBERMAN, Administrative Patent Judges.
GARRIS, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal from the refusal of the
examiner to allow claims 1 and 3-31 as amended subsequent to the
final rejection1. These are all of the claims remaining in the
application.
1 The Examiner has failed to make an explicit statement as
to whether the amendment filed March 15, 2001, subsequent to the
final rejection, has been entered. However, the file record for
this application clearly reflects that the amendment has been
entered.
