                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  


               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1, 2, 4           
          through 7, 9, 12 through 15, and 18 through 21.  These claims               
          constitute all of the claims remaining in the application.                  


               Appellants' invention pertains to a heat exchanger.  A basic           
          understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of             
          exemplary claims 1, 9, and 18, respective copies of which appear            
          in the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper No. 16).
