DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the
examiner’s final rejection of claims 77, 79-81, 83-86, 88 and 89. We note the
examiner’s indication (Answer2, page 2) that claim 87 is allowable. Claims 78
and 82 are free from rejection, however, the examiner has objected to these
claims as dependent upon a rejected base claim.
1 Pursuant to appellant’s request (Paper No. 34, received February 23, 1998) an oral hearing for
this appeal was scheduled for February 19, 2002. Appellant, however, subsequently waived
(Paper No. 37, received December 6, 2001) the request for oral hearing. Accordingly, we
considered this appeal on Brief.
2 Paper No. 32, mailed December 22, 1997.
