                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the            
          examiner's final rejection of claims 1, 2, 5, 7-14, 16-20, 22, 23           
          and 25-351, which are all of the claims pending in this                     
          application.                                                                



               1 Although the examiner additionally includes claims 15, 21 and 24 in  
          the statement of the rejection (supp. answer, page 3), we observe that claims
          15, 21 and 23 were previously canceled by appellants (Paper No. 5, filed    
          January 16, 2001).  Accordingly, we have not listed these canceled claims as
          being finally rejected.
