                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    Appellant has appealed to the Board since the examiner            
          has twice rejected the pending claims 11 through 13, 19, 20, 25,            
          27, 28, 30, 39, 40 and 44 through 61 within 35 U.S.C. § 134.  The           
          examiner’s last Office action rejecting the claims on appeal was            
          a non-final Office action mailed on November 17, 2003.  The                 
          claims on appeal are claims 19, 20, 25, 30, 39, 40, 44, 45, 47
