                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Alan A. Alexander et al. originally took this appeal from              
          the final rejection of claims 2, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 16 and 19                
          through 28.  The appellants have since canceled claims 15 and               
          16 and amended claims 19, 24, 25, 27 and 28.  Thus, the appeal              
          now involves claims 2, 5, 8, 10, 13 and 19 through 28, the                  
          only claims currently pending in the application.
