          Appeal No. 1998-1668                                                        
          Application No. 08/469,670                                                  


          objective evidence of nonobviousness to supplement appellants'              
          specification disclosure.  Accordingly, we agree with the                   
          examiner's legal conclusion that it would have been obvious for             
          one of ordinary skill in the art to perform the claimed process             
          of U.S. '200 in the manner recited in claim 26 on appeal.                   
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.                         
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connec-tion with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                   
          § 1.136(a).
