          Appeal No. 2006-0158                                                        
          Application No. 10/668,832                                                  

               As a final point, we note that appellant bases no argument             
          upon objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected               
          results, which would serve to rebut the prima facie case of                 
          obviousness established by the examiner.                                    
               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).
