        25                                   DECISION ON APPEAL

        29        This appeal involves a final rejection of claims 5-7, 9-11, 15-30, 32, and 331.                      
        30    We have jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 6 and 134.                                 
        31                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                       
              1 Claims 1-4 are withdrawn from consideration following restriction.  Claims 8 and                       
              12-14 are cancelled.  The Examiner has no rejection against claim 31, although it is                     
              among those claims subjected to a new ground of rejection in this decision.
