                    This appeal was taken from the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 through                   
             17 and 20.  Claim 21 stands allowed.  Claims 18, 19, and 22 through 25, the only other                 
             claims remaining in the application, stand withdrawn from further consideration by the                 
             examiner as directed to a non-elected invention.
