                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims                   
          1 through 18.  In an Amendment After Final (paper number 7),                
          claims 1, 7 and 14 were amended, and claims 3, 10, 12 and 15 were           
          canceled.1  Accordingly, claims 1, 2, 4 through 9, 11, 13, 14 and           
          16 through 18 remain before us on appeal.                                   




               1 As a result of the cancellation of claims 3 and 10, claims           
          4 through 6 and 11 now improperly depend from canceled claims.
