ON BRIEF

Before STAAB, MCQUADE, and CRAWFORD, Administrative Patent

MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
Eric D. Blom et al. originally took this appeal from the
final rejection (Paper No. 13) of claims 7 through 13 and 17
through 19, all of the claims pending in the application. As the
examiner has since withdrawn all rejections of claims 10 through
13, the appeal as to these claims is hereby dismissed, leaving
for review the standing rejections of claims 7 through 9 and 17
through 19. Claims 11 through 13 stand allowed and claim 10
stands objected to as depending from a rejected base claim.
