         PAWLIKOWSKI, Administrative Patent Judge.                                  


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                 
              This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final                
         rejection of claims 1, 2, 4-7, 9, and 10.                                  
              A copy of each of these claims is set forth in the attached           
         appendix.                                                                  
              On page 6 of the brief, appellants state that the claims do           
         not stand or fall together.  To the extent any one claim is                
         argued separately for patentability, we will consider such claim           
         in this appeal.
