            Appeal 2007-1554                                                                                  
            Application 10/844,387                                                                            
                                      CONCLUSIONS OF LAW                                                     
                   Appellants have not sustained their burden on appeal of showing that the                   
            Examiner erred in rejecting the claims on appeal as being unpatentable under 35                   
            U.S.C. § 103(a) over the prior art.                                                               
                   Claims 34-50 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over the prior art.                 
                   On the record before us, Appellants are not entitled to a patent containing                
            any of the pending claims in the application on appeal.                                           

                                                 DECISION                                                     
                   Upon consideration of the record, and for the reasons given, it is                         
                         ORDERED that the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 34-50                     
            over the prior art is affirmed.                                                                   
                         FURTHER ORDERED that since our application of the references                         
            may be viewed as differing from that of the Examiner, our affirmance and rejection                
            of objected to and allowed claims are designated as a new rejection.  37 CFR                      
            § 41.50(b) (2006).                                                                                











                                                     20
