          HECKER, Administrative Patent Judge.

               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1 and 12 through 21.  Claim 1 was canceled by an                     
          amendment after final rejection, Paper No. 13.  Thus, claims                
          12 through 21 remain finally rejected, and constitute all                   
          claims pending in the application.                                          

                                          1
