DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of
claims 10-12, 18 and 19. Claims 13-16 are withdrawn from
1 Application for patent filed June 6, 1995. This
application is a divisional of Application 08/189,530, filed
January 31, 1994. Application 08/189,530 resulted in Appeal
No. 96-1846, in which this panel affirmed-in-part the
Examiner's rejection. We note that this appeal involves
different claims and thereby res judicata is not an issue.
