                     This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-13, 20-30 and 39-                
              41.  Claims 14-19, 31-38, 44 and 45 have been canceled.  Claim 42 has been indicated                      
              as allowable.  While claim 43 still appears to be pending in the application, neither the                 
              examiner nor appellant mentions it in either the answer or the brief,
