                                       ON REQUEST FOR REHEARING                                                     
                       Appellant requests that we reconsider our decision of Sept. 27, 2006, in                     
                 which we sustained the rejection of claims 1 and 3-10 as unpatentable under                        
                 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                                                   
                       We have reconsidered our decision of Sept. 27, 2006, in light of                             
                 appellant’s comments in the request for rehearing, and we find no errors therein.                  
                 We, therefore, decline to change our prior decision for the following reasons.
