                             Application No. 08/873,974                               
                                                                                     
                                      ON BRIEF                                        
                                                                                     

          Before KRASS, FLEMING and DIXON, Administrative Patent Judges.              
          KRASS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                         



                              ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING                                
               Appellants request rehearing of our decision of July 29,               
          2004, wherein we affirmed the examiner’s decision rejecting                 
          claims 52, 53, 55-59, 62, 72 and 82 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                  
               Initially, appellants argue that we have not decided an                
          issue involving a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112, even though              
          that rejection had been withdrawn by the examiner and was not on            

                                         -1–
