         Before OWENS, LEVY and NAPPI, Administrative Patent Judges.                                
         OWENS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                        


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                                 
              This appeal is from a rejection of claims 1, 3, 4 and 6-12.                           
         Claim 5, which is the only other pending claim, stands objected to                         
         as dependent upon a rejected base claim but allowable if rewritten                         
         in independent form.
