                Appeal 2006-2675                                                                                
                Application 10/278,143                                                                          

                       We conclude that the Examiner has established a prima facie case of                      
                obviousness that has not been sufficiently rebutted by Appellants.                              
                                               CONCLUSION                                                       
                   In summary, the Examiner having established an unrebutted prima facie                        
                case of obviousness with respect to the subject matter of claims 1-6, we                        
                affirm the decision of the Examiner.
