          FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                     


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 1 through 33.  Subsequent to the Notice of              
          Appeal, appellant filed an amendment (Paper No. 12, August 20,              
          1998) canceling claims 17 through 19 and 21 through 24, and                 
          amending claims 13 through 16 and 20.  As a result of the                   
          examiner's entry of this amendment, only claims 1 through 16,               
          20 and 25 through 33 remain for our consideration on appeal.
