                Before COHEN, ABRAMS, and McQUADE, Administrative Patent Judges.                                                               
                ABRAMS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                           




                                                          DECISION ON APPEAL                                                                   

                         This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1, 2, 7,                                   

                8, 13 and 14.1                                                                                                                 



                         We AFFIRM.                                                                                                            






                         1Appeal was taken from the final rejection of claims 1-18. However, in the Answer the examiner                        
                indicated that claims 3-6, 9-12 and 15-18 now are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected claim,                        
                but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form.  This leaves claims 1, 2, 7, 8, 13 and 14 before us                   
                on appeal.
