DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from
the examiner’s refusal to allow claims 1 through 6, 8 through
11 and 13 through 19.1 Claims 20 and 21, the only other claims
1 After indicating cancellation of claims 7 and 12 in the
above-identified application, the appellants have inadvertently
asserted that they are appealing “from the [e]xaminer’s rejection
of claims 1-7, 9-11 and 13-19.” See the Brief dated February 23,
2004, page 2. By making the claims on appeal to reflect those
which have not been canceled, we have made appropriate correction
