                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In conclusion, the examiner's decision rejecting claims 9              
          and 18 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as drawn to non-                    
          statutory subject matter is affirmed.  The examiner's                       
          decision, rejecting all of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103 as unpatentable over the combined disclosures of Shepard              
          and Cherry, is reversed.                                                    
               The examiner's decision is affirmed-in-part.
