                                   ________________                                    

          Before DOWNEY, METZ and ELLIS, Administrative Patent Judges.                 
          METZ, Administrative Patent Judge.                                           
                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                        
          examiner's refusal to allow claims 3 through 5.  In his Answer               
          (Paper Number 11), the examiner has withdrawn the rejection of               
          claims 1 through 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 101.  Thus, claims 1 and                
          2 remain in the application but are no longer rejected by the                


            Application for patent filed December 23, 1992.1                                                                       
                                          1
