DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal was taken from the examiner's decision rejecting claims 74 and 76
through 80. Claims 75 and 81, which are the only other claims remaining in the
application, stand objected to as depending from a rejected claim but would be allowable
if rewritten in independent form. See the Advisory Action, Paper No. 29, mailed August
12, 1996.
