                                             DECISION ON APPEAL                                                        
                        Appellants appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from a final rejection of                              
                 claims 1, 2, and 4-17.  Claims 18-37 are also pending, but have been                                  
                 withdrawn from consideration.  The Examiner has rejected the claims as                                
                 unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  We have jurisdiction under 35                                 
                 U.S.C. § 6(b).  We affirm.
