FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's refusal to
allow claims 1 through 4 and 7 through 31 as amended subsequent
to the final rejection in a paper filed May 24, 2001 (Paper No.
14). Claims 5 and 6, the only other claims remaining in the
application, have been objected to by the examiner, but are
indicated to be allowable if rewritten in independent form
including all of the limitations of the base claim and any
intervening claims. Claims 32 through 35 have been canceled.
