              This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's refusal to           
         allow claims 13-17, 19-22 and 24-32, which are all of the claims           
         pending in this application.                                               
                                     BACKGROUND

         derived from a reading of exemplary claim 13, which is reproduced          
         below.
