DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal which involves claims 1-7

The subject matter on appeal relates to a fuel stack
assembly for providing power to a working load. With reference
to the appellants’ drawing, the assembly comprises a first set of
fuel cells 14, a first threshold detector 24, a first transistor
1On page 3 of the brief, the appellants “request consideration of
[non-elected species] claim 8 should claim 1 be found allowable.”
However, it is the Examining Corps., not the Board, to which such a
request must be presented. See the Manual of Patent Examining
