          Before HAIRSTON, JERRY SMITH, and GROSS, Administrative Patent               
          Judges.                                                                      
          HAIRSTON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       



                                   DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1 through          
          8 and 11 through 44.  Claims 9 and 10 are objected to as being               
          dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if              
          rewritten in independent claim form including all of the                     
          limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
