                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on an appeal which involves claims 1-14,            
          17, 18, 20-22 and 64.1                                                      

               1 Our inspection of the application file record reveals a              
          failure to clerically process entry of the amendment filed                  
          November 20, 2001, the amendment filed October 26, 2001 and the             
          amendment filed June 25, 2001 even though the examiner had                  
          indicated entry with respect to each of these amendments.  This             
                                          1
