DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the
examiner's final rejection of claims 1, 2, 5, 7-14, 16-20, 22, 23
and 25-351, which are all of the claims pending in this
application.
1 Although the examiner additionally includes claims 15, 21 and 24 in
the statement of the rejection (supp. answer, page 3), we observe that claims
15, 21 and 23 were previously canceled by appellants (Paper No. 5, filed
January 16, 2001). Accordingly, we have not listed these canceled claims as
being finally rejected.
