           Appeal No. 2006-1864                                                                     
           Application No. 10/167,922                                                               

           It is axiomatic that all arguments and evidence of unexpected                            
           results must be discussed in the Brief or be considered waived.                          
                 Accordingly, based on the foregoing, we find that the prior                        
           art advanced by the examiner establishes a prima facie case of                           
           obviousness for the claimed subject matter that has not been                             
           rebutted by appellants.  Accordingly, 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)(1)(iv) (effective Sep. 13, 2004; 69 Fed. Reg. 49960                           
           (Aug. 12, 2004); 1286 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 21 (Sep. 7, 2004)).
