             TIMM, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                     



                                              DECISION ON APPEAL                                                    
                    This appeal involves claims 1, 5-10, and 13-24.  Claim 12, the only other claim                 
             pending in the application, stands objected to as dependent on a cancelled claim                       
             (Answer, p. 2).  We have jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134.
