                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final                 
          rejection of claims 1-11 and 31-41.  Subsequent to the final                
          rejection, appellants cancelled claims 31-32.  Accordingly, the             
          claims now before us for consideration on appeal are claims 1-11            
          and 33-41, all the claims remaining in appellants’ involved                 
          application.
