        Appeal No. 2006-1611                                               
        Application No. 10/669,771                                         

        Maxson not curing the asserted deficiency of Nebolsine with        
        respect to the claimed direct filtration process.                  
             As a final point, we note that appellants base no argument    
        upon objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected      
        results.                                                           
             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
