             Appeal No. 2005-2622                                                           Page 7               
             Application No. 09/923,089                                                                          
             reverse the rejections of claim 1, 8, 18, 24, 26, and 37 and of claims 2-7, 9-13, 19, 27,           
             29, and 38, which depend therefrom.1                                                                


                                               III. CONCLUSION                                                   
                   In summary, the rejection of claims 1, 8, 9, 29, and 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)              
             is reversed.  The rejections of claims 2-7, 10-28, and 31-40 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)               
             are also reversed.  Although the appellants have also requested "withdrawal of the                  
             remaining rejections of the pending claims," (Req. Reh'g at 24), the Board has no                   
             authority to withdraw the examiner's rejections.                                                    




















                   1We previously reversed the rejections of claims 14-17, 20-25, 28, 30-36, 39, and             
             40.  Putman, at 29.
