Before KIMLIN, PAK, and LIEBERMAN, Administrative Patent Judges.

DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from
the examiner’s final rejection of claims 26 and 27, which are all
the claims pending in the above-identified application.
According to appellants (Brief, page 4), “the rejected
claims stand or fall together.” Therefore, for purposes of this

on this claim alone consistent with 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7)(2000).
