             Before COHEN, MEISTER and McQUADE, Administrative Patent                                             
             Judges.                                                                                              

             COHEN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                  


                                            DECISION ON APPEAL                                                    


                    This appeal involves claims 1 through 12 and 16 through                                       

             24, all of the claims remaining in the application, as amended                                       

             subsequent to the final rejection.                                                                   




                    1  Application for patent filed May 30, 1996.  According to the appellant, the                
             application is a “continuation” of provisional application 60/000,021, filed June 8,                 
             1995, now abandoned.  However, we believe it only appropriate to indicate that the                   
             present application is accorded benefit of the filing date of the specified provisional              
             application; 35 U.S.C. § 119(e)(1).                                                                  

                                                        1
