                       This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's refusal to allow claims 15-17, 23 and                         
               24 as amended subsequent to the final rejection.  Claims 1 and 4-14 stand allowed and claims                           
               18-22 stand objected to as being dependent on a rejected claim.  No other claims are pending in                        
               this application.
