DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the examiner’s refusal to allow claims 1, 2, 8, 11, 15,
and 16 as amended subsequent to the final rejection. The
examiner indicated that claims 4 through 6, 9, 10, and 12
through 14, which are the only other claims pending in the
application, “would be allowable in independent form” (Paper
19; advisory action of August 23, 1995).
