DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1
through 13 and 18 through 20. Claims 14 through 17 are 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.
