                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                                                                                     
          This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                      
          from the examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-52, which                   
          constituted all the claims in the application.  The brief on                
          appeal withdrew the appeal with respect to claims 23-48 and these           
          claims were cancelled.  In response to the filing of the appeal
