          Before KIMLIN, JOHN D. SMITH and WALTZ, Administrative Patent               
          Judges.                                                                     
          KIMLIN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 26-               
          32, all the claims remaining in the present application.                    
          Since the examiner has withdrawn the rejection of claim 31 ,1                 
          the instant appeal involves only claims 26-30 and 32.  Claim                
          26 is illustra-tive:
