                 Before LEVY, SAADAT, and MACDONALD, Administrative Patent Judges.                                        
                 MACDONALD, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                  

                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                         

                         This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 2-3, 6-7, 26-                    
                 27, and 30-31.  Claims 4-5, 8-9, 28-29, and 32-33 are objected to as being                               
                 dependent upon a rejected base claim.  Claim 39 has been canceled.  Claims 1,                            
                 10-25, 34-38, and 40-41 are withdrawn from consideration as not directed to the                          
                 elected invention.  See the Examiner’s answer at page 2.
