           HAIRSTON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                

                                DECISION ON APPEAL                               
                This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1           
           through 7, 10 and 17.  Inasmuch as appellants have withdrawn          
           the appeal of claim 4 (brief, page 2), and correspondingly            
           dependent claim 5 based upon appellants’ failure to list              
           claim 5 among the appealed claims, the remaining claims on            
           appeal are claims 1 through 3, 6, 7, 10 and 17.
