          Judges.                                                                     
          MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Yoshio Kurokawa et al. originally took this appeal from the            
          final rejection of claims 1 through 3, all of the claims pending            
          in the application.  As the examiner has since withdrawn the                
          rejection of claim 3, the appeal as to this claim is hereby                 
          dismissed, leaving for review the standing rejection of claims 1            
          and 2.
