              Before WINTERS, WILLIAM F. SMITH, and ADAMS, Administrative Patent Judges.                                 
              WINTERS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                      

                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                        

                     This appeal was taken from the examiner's decision rejecting claims 1, 2, 5, 6, and                 
              12 through 16.  Claim 3 stands objected to as depending from a rejected base claim, but                    
              would be allowable if rewritten in independent form (Examiner's Answer, page 2).  Claims                   
              7 through 11, which are the only other claims remaining in the application, stand withdrawn                
              from further consideration by the examiner as directed to a non-elected invention.                         
                                             REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS
