                      This is a decision on an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the

                other claims pending in the above-identified application, stand withdrawn                    
                from consideration as being directed to a non-elected invention.  We have                    
                jurisdiction pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 6.
