DECISION ON APPEAL
Gerald R. Koefelda et al. originally took this appeal from
the final rejection (mailed November 3, 2003) of claims 4 through
7, 11 through 16, 18 through 24 and 26 through 38.1 As the
examiner has since withdrawn the rejections of claims 15 and 16,
the appeal as to these claims is hereby dismissed, leaving for
review the standing rejections of claims 4 through 7, 11 through
14, 18 through 24 and 26 through 38. Claims 15 and 16, as well
as claim 25, now stand objected to as depending from rejected
1 Claims 17, 29, 31 and 32 have been amended subsequent to
final rejection.
