                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Ingo Pooch et al. originally took this appeal from the final           
          rejection of claims 1 through 17.  As the appellants have since             
          canceled claim 14, the appeal now involves claims 1 through 13              
          and 15 through 17, all of the claims currently pending in the               
          application.                                                                
                                   THE INVENTION                                      
               The invention relates to a device for detecting gaseous and            
          vaporous components of a gas mixture.  Representative claim 1               
          reads as follows:                                                           

                                          1
