               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 39 and 40, which are all of the claims                  
          pending in this application.                                                
                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               Appellant's invention relates to a post-tension anchor                 
          system for maintaining the tendon of the post-tension system in a           
          corrosion resistant state.  An understanding of the invention can           
          be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 39, which is                   
          reproduced below.
