                 Application 10/764,946                                                                                
            1           Since Applicants do not separately address dependent claim 5 in the                            
            2    Appeal Brief or Reply Briefs (FF 9), claim 5 stands or falls together with the                        
            3    base rejection and therefore the rejection of claim 5 is also sustained.                              
            4           E.  Decision                                                                                   
            5           Upon consideration of the record, and for the reasons given, the                               
            6    Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                              
            7    unpatentable over Clegg is affirmed.                                                                  
            8           No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection
