                                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                                       

              This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1-3, 5-13, 15-                   
              17, and 20. 2                                                                                               




                     1  The oral hearing was waived in a letter filed Mar. 27, 2001.  Therefore, this decision is based upon
              the brief.                                                                                                  
                     2  We note claims 14 and 18 have been canceled, and claims 4 and 19 have been objected to by         
              the examiner.
