DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's rejection of claims 27-37, 39 and
40. Claims 38 and 42 stand withdrawn from consideration as not being directed to an
elected species and claim 41 has been indicated to be allowable by the examiner. Claim
32 was amended subsequent to the final rejection, in an amendment filed September 28,

final rejection (mailed July 27, 2005).
