                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This appeal is from the final rejection of claims 1-15,                
          and 19-27.  Claims 28-35, which are all of the other claims                 
          remaining in the application, stand withdrawn from consideration            
          by the examiner as being directed toward a nonelected invention.
