                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                  
          from the examiner’s final rejection of claims 1, 4 through 9,               
          15 and 16, which are all of the claims pending in the above-                
          identified application.                                                     
               According to appellants (Brief, page 4), “[the] claims                 
          stand or fall together.”  Therefore, for purposes of this                   
          appeal, we need only consider the propriety of the examiner’s
