DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal from the primary examiner’s
final rejection of claims 16 through 21, 23, 30 and 31. The claims
remaining in this application are claims 24 through 29, 32 and 33,
which stand allowed by the examiner, and claim 22, which was
objected to by the examiner as dependent upon a rejected base
claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form,
including all of the limitations of the base claim and any
intervening claims (final Office action dated Nov. 19, 2002, Paper
No. 16, page 3). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134.
