                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Yutaka Hirata originally took this appeal from the final               
          rejection of claims 11 through 13.  The appellant has since                 
          canceled claim 12 and amended claims 11 and 13, leaving the                 
          latter two claims as the only ones remaining in the                         
          application and on appeal.
