                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from                
          the examiner's final rejection of claims 7-14 and 16-18 ,1                    
          which are all of the claims pending in this application.                    


                                     BACKGROUND                                       




               1Both the examiner's answer and the final rejection (Paper No. 13,     
          filed November 6, 1998) include claim 15 in the statement of the rejection. 
          We note that claim 15 has been canceled (Paper No. 12, filed August 26, 1998).
          Accordingly, only claims 7-14 and 16-18 remain before us on appeal.
