                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from                
          the examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-5, 7-15, 17-19, 21               
          and 22.  Claims 6, 16 and 20 have been objected to by the                   
          examiner as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but                 
          would be allowable if rewritten in independent form.
