          Before JERRY SMITH, FLEMING, and GROSS, Administrative Patent                
          Judges.                                                                      
          FLEMING, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        


                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                   


               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of                
          claims 1 through 20, all the claims pending in the application.              
          On page 2 of the Examiner’s answer, the Examiner states upon                 
          reconsideration that claims 4 through 8 are now only objected to             
          for depending on rejected claims and would otherwise be                      
          allowable.  Also, the Examiner notes that claims 14                          

                                           1
