                       Applicants appeal the decision of the Primary Examiner finally rejecting               
                claims 1 to 6 and 8.1  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 134.2                           




                       1  According to the Appellants, claim 10 is allowed and claims 7 and 9 are objected to 
                as being dependent on a rejected claim.  (Brief, p. 2).                                       
                       2  In rendering this decision, we have considered Appellants’ arguments presented in the
                Brief filed January 17, 2002.
