          Appeal No. 2001-1186                                                        
          Application No. 08/819,609                                                  


               In summary, with respect to the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                   
          § 103(a) rejection of the appealed claims, we have not sustained            
          the rejection of claims 1-15, 17, and 18, but have sustained the            
          rejection of claims 16, 19, and 20.  Therefore, the Examiner’s              
          decision rejecting claims 1-20 is affirmed-in-part.                         
          No time period for taking any subsequent action in                          
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
