                      This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the                     
               Examiner finally rejecting claims 1, 2, and 4 through 13.  Claim 3, also of                 
               record, has been held by the Examiner to encompass patentably subjected                     
               matter but is objected to as being dependent on a rejected claim.
