DECISION ON APPEAL
The present appeal is taken from the final rejection of
claims 1 through 13, 19 through 29, and 35 through 38. Claims 14
through 18 and 30 through 34, the only other claims in the
application, stand withdrawn as being drawn to a non-elected
species. In the answer (page 2), the examiner indicates that
claims 6 and 23 are objected to as being dependent upon a
rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in
