            Before ROBERT E. NAPPI, LINDA E. HORNER,                                                         
            and ANTON W. FETTING, Administrative Patent Judges.                                              
            FETTING, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                            

                              DECISION ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING                                              
                This is a decision on Appellant’s Request for Reconsideration filed March 21,                
            2007.  We treat the Request for Reconsideration as a request for rehearing under 37              
            C.F.R. § 41.52 (2006).  The appeal was initially decided by a 3-judge panel                      
            consisting of Judges Nappi, Horner, and Fetting.  The panel sustained a rejection of             
            claims 1, 5 through 15, 35, and 37 as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 101.                  
            The request seeks rehearing of the original panel’s decision sustaining the
