DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final
rejection of claims 49 and 84.1 In the final rejection,
the examiner indicated that, of the remaining claims
pending in appellants’ application, claims 25, 27-35, 38-
1 We note that appellants have included a request for an oral hearing in
their Brief (page 6). However, a request for an oral hearing must be
filed as a separate paper. 37 CFR § 41.47 (b). Since appellants have
not satisfied this requirement, the decision in this case is made “on
the briefs” without an oral hearing in accordance with 37 CFR
§ 41.47(c).
