DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final
rejection of claims 14, 16 and 18. Claims 27-32 stand withdrawn
from further consideration by the examiner as being drawn to a
non-elected invention. Claim 17, the only other claim now
pending in appellants’ application, stands subject to an
objection but, according to the examiner, would be allowable if
written in independent form.
