DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the

through 22 are on appeal. However, due to the entry of an amendment filed on
October 19, 1999 (paper no. 27) and its entry on November 29, 1999 (paper no.
28), claims 19 through 21 have been canceled. Therefore, only claims 1, 3 to
18 and 22 are pending in this application.
