              BAHR, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                   

                                     DECISION ON APPEAL                                            

                                   STATEMENT OF THE CASE                                           
                    Mory Gharib and Paul S. Krueger (Appellants) appeal under                      
              35 U.S.C. § 134 from the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 2-7.  We               
              have jurisdiction over this appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 6 (2002).  Appellants           
              waived the oral argument set for October 25, 2007 at 1:00 PM (waiver filed           
              September 5, 2007).  We therefore reach our decision in this appeal on the           
              basis of Appellants’ Appeal Brief (filed February 28, 2006) and the                  
              Examiner’s Answer (mailed April 27, 2006) thereto.
