              Appeal 2006-2634                                                                                          
              Application 10/294,537                                                                                    

                     As a final point, we note that Appellant bases no argument upon objective                          
              evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected results, which would serve to                              
              rebut the prima facie case of obviousness established by the Examiner.                                    
                     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 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv)(2004).                                           
                                                     AFFIRMED
