          Appeal No. 1997-0601                                                        
          Application 08/161,878                                                      


          conventional package with a heat sink and encapsulant and                   
          leads extending therefrom, as illustrated by Schovanec for                  
          thyristor devices.”  Appellants have not argued these claims                
          separately, having elected to group them with claim 1 above.                
          Therefore, we sustain the obviousness rejection of claims 12                
          to 14 over Ohta and Schovanec.                                              
               In summary, we have sustained the rejections of claims 1               
          to 6 and 12 to 16.  Accordingly, we affirm.                                 
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
