               Before WALTZ, TIMM, and PAWLIKOWSKI, Administrative Patent Judges.                                                
               TIMM, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                



                                                    DECISION ON APPEAL                                                           
                      This appeal involves claims 1-10.  Claims 11-20, the only other claims pending in the                      
               application, stand withdrawn from consideration pursuant to a restriction requirement (Brief, p.                  
               1).  We have jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134.
