          Appeal No. 2006-1176                                                        
          Application No. 09/926,202                                                  
               Thus, having considered the totality of record, including              
          due consideration of all of the arguments proffered by both the             
          examiner and the appellant, we determine that the examiner has              
          established a prima facie case of obviousness, which has not                
          been sufficiently rebutted by the appellant.  Accordingly, we               
          affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 6 through 21                
          under Section 103(a).                                                       
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In view of the foregoing, we affirm the examiner’s decision            
          rejecting all of the claims on appeal under Section 103(a).                 
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
