                                           Application No. 08/652,740

            Before COHEN, ABRAMS and STAAB, Administrative Patent Judges.                                     
            ABRAMS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                              




                                            DECISION ON APPEAL                                                
                   This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1-3, 6-11,      
            14, 15 and 17-20, which are all of the claims pending in this application.  However, in the       
            Answer, the examiner indicated that claims 15 and 17-20 now were considered to be                 
            allowable, leaving claims 1-3, 6-11 and 14 before us on appeal.                                   


                   We AFFIRM-IN-PART.
