                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               Boris E. Makutonin et al. originally took this appeal from             
          the final rejection of claims 1 through 21 and 24 through 36.  As           
          the appellants have since canceled claim 15,1 the appeal now                
          involves claims 1 through 14, 16 through 21 and 24 through 36,              
          all of the claims presently pending in the application.                     





               1 The appellants have also since amended claim 1.
