                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1-4, 6-9, 11-14, and 16-18.1  Claims 5, 10 and 15 have               

               1We note that the examiner has not included claims 13 and 17           
          in any statement of rejection nor has the examiner indicated                
          these claims to be allowable.  We treat them as being rejected              
          under 35 U.S.C. 103 since appellants consider them to be rejected           
          and the examiner apparently is treating them as being rejected              
          since the examiner responds to appellants’ arguments in this                
          regard.                                                                     
                                         -1–
