                      This appeal was taken pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final                       
                rejection of claims 1-6, 8-22, 25-40, 42-53, 60, and 62-69.1 Claims 7, 23,                   

                                                                                                            
                1The Examiner in the Answer and Appellants in the Briefs variously refer to
