          Before SCHEINER, MILLS, and PAWLIKOWSKI, Administrative Patent              
          Judges.                                                                     
          PAWLIKOWSKI, Administrative Patent Judge.                                   


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the            
          examiner’s final rejection of claims 1 through 6.  We note that             
          on page 3 of Paper No. 4, the examiner has indicated that claims            
          7 through 19 have been objected to as being dependent upon a                
          rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in                 
          independent form including all of the limitations of the base               
          claim and any intervening claims.
