                  Appeal 2005-2193                                                                                              
                  Application 09/385,405                                                                                        

                  Appellant’s arguments directed to claim 82 are untimely and will not be                                       
                  considered.  Appellant further argues that there is no motivation for one of                                  
                  ordinary skill in the art to use a tangential flow filter in the process of                                   
                  Schmidt.  This is because, according to Appellant, no first component is                                      
                  present in the waste stream of Schmidt.  This argument fails for the reasons                                  
                  stated above.  Again, this argument is based upon an overly narrow                                            
                  interpretation of “first component” in claim 71.  Claim 74 does not further                                   
                  limit “first component.”                                                                                      
                          The subject Request has been granted to the extent that the Decision                                  
                  has been reconsidered, but is denied with respect to making any changes                                       
                  therein.                                                                                                      
                          No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                                    
                  this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
