             CRAWFORD, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                   



                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                     
                    This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 90 to 96,              
             98 to 101, 104 to 109, 112, 113, and 115 to 117, which are all of the claims pending in                  
             this application.  Claims 1 to 66 have been canceled.  Claims 67 to 89 are allowable and                 
             claims 97, 102, 103, 110, 111, and 114 are objected to as being dependent upon a                         
             rejected base claim but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all                
             of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
