                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

               Toshihiko Ishikawa et al. originally took this appeal from             
          the final rejection (Paper No. 16) of claims 4 through 7.  As the           
          appellants have since canceled claims 5 and 6, the appeal now               
          involves claims 4 and 7, the only claims currently pending in the           
          application.
