                                                     ____________                                                      
              Before STAAB, NASE and BAHR, Administrative Patent Judges.                                               
              BAHR, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                       



                                                DECISION ON APPEAL                                                     
                     This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 4, 16                  
              and 19.  Claims 10 and 13-15 have been canceled (Paper No. 46) and claims 17, 18                         
              and 20-24 have been canceled (Paper No. 56, subsequent to the final rejection).                          
              Appellant “withdrew” claims 1-3, 5-9, 11 and 12 (Paper No. 26), which the examiner                       
              (Paper No. 33) apparently interpreted as cancellation of these claims.                                   



                     1
