                  Application No. 09/772,481                                                                                                              

                           Appellant’s arguments in support of patentability do not persuade us of error in                                               
                  the rejection over the prior art.  We sustain the rejection of claims 1-15 under 35 U.S.C.                                              
                  § 103 as being unpatentable over Walker and Sonnenfeld.                                                                                 


                                                                  CONCLUSION                                                                              
                           The rejection of claims 1-15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.                                                                
                           No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal                                                 
                  may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
