                  GREEN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                            

                                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                                             
                          An oral hearing in this case was scheduled for March 21, 2006.  Upon                                   
                  reviewing the case, however, we have determined that an oral hearing will not be                               
                  necessary and we render the following decision based on the record.  See 37                                    
                  CFR § 41.47(f).                                                                                                
                          This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s                                 
                  final rejection of claims 1-14.  Claim 1 is representative of the subject matter on                            
                  appeal, and reads as follows:
