          Appeal No. 2004-0847                                                        
          Application No. 09/246,412                                                  


               As a final point, we note that appellants base no argument             
          upon objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected               
          results, which would serve to rebut the inference of obviousness            
          established by the examiner.                                                
               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                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
