ABRAMS, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1, 2, 7,
8, 13 and 14.1
We AFFIRM.
1Appeal was taken from the final rejection of claims 1-18. However, in the Answer the examiner
indicated that claims 3-6, 9-12 and 15-18 now are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected claim,
but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form. This leaves claims 1, 2, 7, 8, 13 and 14 before us
on appeal.
