                                   DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the Examiner’s final                  
          rejection of claims 7-10, 15, 16 and 23-25.  Claims 1-6 and 17-22            
          have been withdrawn from consideration as being drawn to a non-              
          elected invention.  The Examiner has objected to claims 11-14 and            
          has indicated their allowability if rewritten in independent form            
          including all of the limitations of the base claim and any                   
          intervening claims.                                                          
               We reverse.                                                             

               1  Application for patent filed July 20, 2000.
