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

                                                DECISION ON APPEAL                                                        


                         This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s                       
                 final rejection of claims 1, 2, 5-11, and 13-19.  The examiner has indicated that                        
                 claim 3, the only other pending claim, is allowed.  See Final Office Action, page 3.                     




                                                                                                                          
                 1 We recognize appellants’ request for an oral hearing (Paper No. 23, received June 23, 1999).           
                 However, in accordance with 37 CFR §1.194(c), the Board decided that an oral hearing was not             
                 necessary in this appeal.
