          WALTZ, Administrative Patent Judge.                                         

          DECISION ON APPEAL                                                          
               This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                       
          examiner’s final rejection of claims 1 through 5 and 7.  Claim              
          6 is the only remaining claim in this application and has been              
          objected to by the examiner as depending on a rejected base                 
          claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form              
          including all of the limitations of the base claim and any                  
          intervening claims (Answer, page 1).                                        


                                          1
