          Before HAIRSTON, FLEMING, and BLANKENSHIP, Administrative Patent             
          Judges.                                                                      
          HAIRSTON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       

                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims                    
          1 through 22.  After submission of the brief, the examiner found             
          claim 14 to be allowable, but for its dependency from a rejected             
          base claim (answer, page 5).  Accordingly, claims 1 through                  
          13 and 15 through 22 remain before us on appeal.
