          Before GARRIS, WEIFFENBACH and WALTZ, Administrative Patent                  
          Judges.                                                                      
          WEIFFENBACH, Administrative Patent Judge.                                    

                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the             
          examiner's final rejection of claims 1-23 and 25-49.  The only               
          other claim in the application, dependent claim 24, stands                   
          allowed.   We affirm.2                                                                    

               1Application for patent filed March 25, 1993.                           
               2Claim 24 is dependent on claim 1.  Although the examiner indicated in  
          an advisory action dated December 3, 1993 (Paper No. 7) that this claim was  
          allowed, it should have been objected to because it is dependent upon a      
                                           1
