DECISION ON APPEAL This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-10 which are all of the claims in the application. On page 3 of the answer, the Examiner has indicated that claims 2-10 now stand objected to as being dependent upon rejected claim 1 but otherwise allowable. Therefore, we hereby dismiss the appeal as to claims 2-10, thus leaving independent claim 1 as the sole claim before us.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
