          JERRY SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.                                   
                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
          This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                      
          from the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-39 and 46-57.  Claims             
          40-45 stand withdrawn from consideration by the examiner as being           
          directed to a nonelected invention.  An amendment after final               
          rejection was filed on June 9, 1998 but was denied entry by the             
          examiner.
