                                    ____________                                      
          Before FRANKFORT, STAAB, and MCQUADE, Administrative Patent                 
          Judges.                                                                     
          FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                     


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

          This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                      
          rejection of claims 12 through 28, all of the claims remaining in           
          this application.  On page 11 of the examiner's answer (Paper No.           
          18), it has been indicated that claims 26 through 28 now stand              
          objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but              
          would be allowable if rewritten in independent form.                        
          Accordingly, only claims 12 through 25 remain for our                       
          consideration on appeal.  Claims 1 through 11 have been canceled.
