                                     ___________                                      
          Before LEE, MEDLEY, and MOORE, Administrative Patent Judges.                
          MOORE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                         
                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final                 
          rejection of claims 1-4, 7-10, 13-16, 25, 27, 31, 35, and 39.               
          Claims 5, 6, 11, 12, 17, 18, 28, 29, 32, 33, 36, and 37 are                 
          allowable; while claims 19-24, 26, 30, 34, and 38 are allowable if          
          rewritten.  Accordingly, claims 1-4, 7-10, 13-16, 25, 27, 31, 35,           
          and 39 are before us on this appeal.                                        
                                REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS                                 
               The appellant has not expressly grouped the claims in any              
          groups, although claims 1, 7, 13, and 25 appear to be argued in             
          one group (Appeal Brief, page 5, lines 21-23), claims 3, 9, and 15
