                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
          This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                      
          from the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 19,              
          20 and 22-26.  Claims 5, 8, 9, 12, 14-18, 21 and 27-30 stand                
          withdrawn from consideration as being directed to a nonelected              
          invention.  Claim 31 has been indicated to contain allowable                
          subject matter.  The only pending rejection of claim 13 has                 
                                         -1-
