          Appeal No. 2004-0546                                                        
          Application No. 09411793                                                    


          to effect rotary displacement of the type present in a rotary               
          potentiometer emanates from Ewing.                                          
               As a final point, we note that appellants base no argument             
          upon objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected               
          results.                                                                    
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well-            
          stated by the examiner, the examiner's decision rejecting the               
          appealed claims is affirmed.                                                
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
