          Judges.                                                                     
          FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                     


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
          This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                      
          rejection of claims 1 through 3 and 6 through 11.  Claims 4 and             
          5, the only other claims pending in the application, stand                  
          objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim and               
          have been indicated to be allowable if rewritten in independent             
          form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any             
          intervening claims.
