DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's rejection of claims 1-3, 5, 8-21, 23-25
and 27-52. Claims 4, 6, 7, 22 and 26 stand objected to as depending from a rejected claim but
are otherwise indicated as allowable by the examiner. As indicated on page 2 of the answer
(mailed September 12, 2005), the amendment submitted with the brief (filed May 24, 2005) has
been entered, thereby overcoming the rejection of claim 48 under the second paragraph of 35
U.S.C. § 112.
We AFFIRM-IN-PART.
