                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                           
                  This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                         
            examiner's final rejection of claims 1-131, which are all of the                          
            claims pending in this application.                                                       





                                             BACKGROUND                                               

                  1  As correctly noted by the examiner (answer, page 3), a substantially             
            correct copy of claim 13 appears in the appendix to the brief.  In line 1,                
            "claim" should be "claimed."
