          Judges.                                                                     
          MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Bruno Girouard et al. originally took this appeal from the             
          final rejection (Paper No. 26) of claims 1 through 49, 55, 57               
          through 61, 64 through 68, 73 and 77 through 92.  As the                    
          appellants have since canceled claims 61, 89 and 91 and amended             
          claims 60 and 92, the appeal now involves claims 1 through 49,              
          55, 57 through 60, 64 through 68, 73, 77 through 88, 90 and 92,             
          all of the claims currently pending in the application.
