          FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                     


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   


          This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                      
          rejection of claims 1 through 17.  Claims 18 through 22 have been           
          withdrawn from further consideration by the examiner as being               
          directed to a non-elected invention.  Claims 23 through 27, the             
          only other claims remaining in the application, stand allowed.              
          Claim 28 has been canceled.                                                 

                                          1
