                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Gregory A. Zurbuchen originally took this appeal from the              
          final rejection of claims 9 through 20.  The appellant has                  
          since canceled claims 13 and 19 and amended claims 9 and 14.                
          Thus, the appeal now involves claims 9 through 12, 14 through               
          18 and 20, all of the claims currently pending in the
