          under 35 U.S.C. § 101 is improper, and is reversed.                         
                                      DECISION                                        
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 18 through               
          22 under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 is reversed.               
          The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 18 through 24                 
          under the                                                                   
          first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 is reversed.  The decision               
          of                                                                          




          the examiner rejecting claims 18 through 24 under 35 U.S.C. §               
          101 is reversed.

               It appears that a judicially-created, obvious-type double patenting rejection1                                                                     
          would have been more appropriate.
