                                        DECISION ON APPEAL                                                 

                                      STATEMENT OF THE CASE                                                
                      Olaf Abels et al. (Appellants) originally appealed under 35 U.S.C.                   
               § 134 from the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 5, 9-10, 12, 14, 17,                 
               20, 23 and 28-31.  The Examiner withdrew the rejection of claim 28 (Ans.                    
               3). Accordingly, only claims 1, 5, 9-10, 12, 14, 17, 20, 23 and 29-31 are                   
               involved in this appeal.  Claim 28 now stands objected to by the Examiner                   
               (Ans. 2).  Claims 2-4, 6-8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21 and 22 have been
