                                           DECISION ON APPEAL                                             
                  This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134(a) from                              
            the Examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-5 and 7-21.  Claims                                
            22-26 have been allowed and claim 6 has been objected to as being                             
            dependent upon a rejected base claim but otherwise allowable if                               
            rewritten to include all the limitations of the base claim and                                
            any intervening claim.                                                                        
                  We affirm.                                                                              
                  1  Application for patent filed September 5, 2003, which according to                   
            Appellant, is a continuation-in-part of Application No. 09/906,441, filed July                
            16, 2001, now U.S. Patent No. 6,713,762.
