                                                DECISION ON APPEAL                                                         
                         This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s                            
                  final rejection of claims 1, 4, 6, 8, 12-19, 45-48, 55, 63, 65, 70, 72, 73, 75, 85,                      
                  91, 93 and 94.1  Claim 1 is representative of the subject matter on appeal, and                          
                  reads as follows:                                                                                        



                                                                                                                           
                  1 According to the Examiner’s Answer, claims 49-54, 56-62, 64 and 79 are free                            
                  of the prior art, with Claim 79 being objected to, and thus these claims are not                         
                  subject to the instant appeal.  See Examiner’s Answer, page 2.
