               Appeal No. 2006-3122                                                                         
               Application No. 10/247,769                                                                   


               evidence or arguments that persuasively rebut the examiner's prima facie case.               
               Appellants did not persuasively rebut the examiner's prima facie case of                     
               obviousness, but merely noted that the dependent claims are patentable since                 
               they depend from patentable independent claims [brief, page 10].  The rejection              
               is therefore sustained.                                                                      
                      In summary, we have sustained the examiner's rejection with respect to all            
               claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-9              
               and 14-31 is affirmed.
