DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal from the decision of the examiner twice
rejecting claims 1-56, all the claims currently pending in the application. As the examiner
has subsequently allowed claims 48-50 (see page 2 of the examiner’s answer), only the
rejections of claims 1-47 and 51-56 remain before us for review.
