          Judges.                                                                     
          JERRY SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.                                   

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

          This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                      
          from the examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-24, which                   
          constituted all the claims in the application.  An amendment                
          after final rejection was filed on April 30, 2001 and was entered           
          by the examiner.  This amendment cancelled claims 15-19.                    
          Therefore, this appeal is directed to the rejection of claims               
          1-14 and 20-24.                                                             

                                          1
