                                           DECISION ON APPEAL                                                    
                       This is a decision on an appeal from the Primary Examiner’s non-final                     
                rejection of claims 19 through 24 dated May 20, 2005.  Claims 19-24 are the                      
                only claims pending in this application.  Since these claims have been twice                     
                rejected, we have jurisdiction pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134.  See Ex parte                        
                Lemoine, 46 USPQ2d 1420, 1423 (Bd. Pat. App. & Int. 1998).
