              WEIFFENBACH, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                

                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                      
                     This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner refusing     
              to allow claims 1-10 and 17 which are the only claims remaining in the application.   We reverse.2                            



                     Application for patent filed February 26, 1993.1                                                                                                
                     In the final rejection, claims 1-10 and 15-18 were rejected for obviousness.  In an amendment after final (paper2                                                                                                
              no. 9), appellant, inter alia, canceled claims 15, 16 and 18 and amended claims 7 and 17.  In an advisory action (paper no.
              10), the examiner approved entry of the amendment and indicated that upon filing an appeal the status of the claims would
              be that claims 1-10 and 17 would be rejected.  Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1-10 and 17 are before us for
              consideration.                                                                                           
                                                          1
