DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-19 and 58-97,
which are all of the claims pending in the present application. Claims 20-57 have been
canceled. At pages 12 and 13 of the Answer, the Examiner indicates that the rejection of
claims 4, 19, 76-78, and 87-94 has been withdrawn, and states that claims 19, 76-78, and
87-94 are allowed while claim 4 is allowable subject matter to being rewritten in
independent form. Accordingly, only the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1-3, 5-18, 58-75,
79-86, and 95-97 is before us on appeal.
