Appeal No. 2005-2453
Application No. 10/102,923
appellants' specification attaches no criticality to the ratio of
thicknesses recited in claim 6, and appellants have failed to
proffer objective evidence which establishes the criticality.
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
