                 GAUDETTE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                  

                                              DECISION ON APPEAL                                                         
                        This is an appeal from the rejection of claims 11-25 and 28, the only                            
                 claims pending in the application.  Although the action appealed from was a                             
                 non-final rejection, we have jurisdiction pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 6 and 134                            
                 since these claims have been twice presented and rejected.  See Ex parte

                        We REVERSE.
