DECISION ON APPEAL
Herald M. Baldonado et al. originally took this appeal from
the final rejection (mailed February 26, 2003) of claims 1, 2 and
4 through 22. After the appellants canceled claim 22 and
submitted a main brief (filed September 2, 2003), the examiner
issued an Office action (mailed November 18, 2003) reopening
prosecution and entering superseding rejections of claims 1, 2
and 4 through 21. Pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.193(b)(2)(ii), the
appellants then submitted a supplemental brief (filed February
19, 2004), implicitly requesting that the appeal be reinstated.
