                 Application 09/818,003                                                                               

                        In conclusion, we have sustained the Examiner’s rejections of claims                          
                 1 through 11, 45, and 46 within 35 U.S.C. § 103, but have reversed the                               
                 rejections of the remaining claims on appeal also rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                         
                 103.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 41                          
                 and 45 through 52 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed-in-part.                                         
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                            
                 this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. §1.136(a).  See 37 C.F.R.                                
                 § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
