                             Application No. 08/258,909

                                    ____________

          DECISION ON APPEAL                                                          
               This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                       
          examiner’s final rejection of claims 15 through 17, 19 through              
          22 and 24.  Claims 18 and 23, the only other claims remaining               
          in this application, stand objected to as being dependent upon              
          a rejected base claim but would be allowable if rewritten in                
          independent form.  Therefore, claims 18 and 23 are not                      
          included in this appeal (Brief, page 2, and Answer, page 1).
