                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                       
                        This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                                 
                 examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-4, 6-11, 15-18, and 20-24.  The examiner                        
                 objected to claims 12, 13, and 14, the only remaining pending claims, “as being                        
                 dependent upon a rejected base claim,” however, the examiner has indicated                             
                 that these claims would be “allowable if rewritten in independent form including                       
                 all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.”  Brief, page 2.
