DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the
examiner’s final rejection of claims 18-21, 49-51, 53-64, 115 and 116. Of the
remaining pending claims, claims 65-113 have been withdrawn from
consideration, and claims 52 and 114 stand objected as depending from a
rejected claim.2
1 Appellants waived their request for oral hearing. Paper received February 23, 2005.
Accordingly, we considered this appeal on Brief.
2 The objection to claims 52 and 114 is the subject matter of a petition and is not properly before
us on appeal. Accordingly, we have not considered claims 52 and 114 in our deliberations.
