DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1-26 and
28-31. Claims 16, 26 and 27-31 were amended subsequent to the final rejection in an
amendment filed April 22, 2004. The appellant originally appealed from the examiner's
rejections of claims 1-31. On page 4 of the answer, however, the examiner withdrew
the rejection of claim 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph. Inasmuch as there
is no other standing rejection of claim 27, this appeal involves only claims 1-26 and 28-
31.
