          C) Claims 8, 9 and 28 have been withdrawn from further                       
          consideration by the examiner; and                                           
          D) Claims 16 through 20 have been canceled.                                  

          In the decision mailed December 18, 2002 (Paper No. 26), we                  
          sustained the examiner’s rejection of claims 38 through 40 under             
          35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite; the                  
          rejection of claims 1, 2, 23, 37 and 38 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)             
          as being anticipated by Fix (U.S. Patent No. 2,205,522); and the             
          examiner’s rejections of claims 6, 13 and 27 under 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 103(a).                                                                    

          Following completion of proceedings before the examiner, we                  
          now enter an order whereby we make our decision dated December               
          18, 2002 Final. The time for appellant to seek judicial review of            
          that decision in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 141 or § 145 runs               
          from the mailing date of this order.                                         




                                           2
