          Appeal No. 2006-1901                                                        
          Application No. 10/742,436                                                  

          claims include assertions similar to those addressed above with             
          respect to claim 1 (brief, pages 10-12).  We are unpersuaded that           
          the combination of Jamshidi with Zhang, as set forth by the                 
          Examiner (answer, page 4-6 & 8).  As such, and for the reasons              
          similar to those underlying our conclusion with respect to claim            
          1, we find that the Examiner has set forth a reasonable case of             
          prima facie obviousness and the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of                
          claims 1-3, 5 and 6 over Zhang and Jamshidi should be sustained.            

                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner                 
          rejecting claims 1-3, 5-9 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                   
          affirmed.
