          PATE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                          



                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the examiner's refusal to allow                 
          claims 1, 3 through 7 and 10 as amended after final rejection.              
          Claims 11 through 15 stand withdrawn from consideration, and                
          claims 2, 8 and 9 have been canceled.  Thus, the appealed                   
          claims are the only claims remaining in the application.                    

                                          1
