                             Application No. 07/785,6441

                                   _______________                                     
          Before CAROFF, KIMLIN and JOHN D. SMITH,, Administrative Patent              
          Judges.                                                                      
          CAROFF, Administrative Patent Judge.                                         
                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of                
          claims 1-4 and 7-8.  Claims 5-6, the only other claims in the                
          Hanna et al application, were merely objected to by the examiner             
          and, therefore, are not before us for consideration.                         
                                                                                      
               1 Application for patent filed October 31, 1991, which is               
          according to appellants, a continuation-In-Part of application               
          07/602,533, filed October 24, 1990, now abandoned.                           



                                           1
