         MOORE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                        
                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                
              This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the final                
         rejection of claims 1-20, which are all the claims of this                 
         application.

              The appellants have indicated (Brief, page 6, last line)              
         that, for the purposes of this appeal, the claims will stand or            
         fall together.  Consistent with this indication, the appellants            
         have made no separate arguments with respect to the remaining              
         claims.  Accordingly, all the claims will stand or fall together,
