                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1-8, 11-19, and 22-24.  Claims 9, 10, 20, and 21 are                 
          objected to as being dependent on rejected claims, but are                  
          indicated as allowable if rewritten in independent form including           
          all the limitations of the claims from which they depend.
