               Appeal 2007-3673                                                                            
               Application 10/365,189                                                                      
               (Fed.Cir.1984)).  The question here, we emphasize, is a question of evidence                
               and the burden is on the Appellants to show unexpected results.  In re                      
               Johnson, 747 F.2d 1456, 1460, 223 USPQ 1260, 1263 (Fed. Cir. 1984). In                      
               our view, Appellants have not shouldered their burden.                                      
                      In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well stated by                 
               the Examiner, the Examiner’s decision rejecting the appealed claims is                      
               affirmed.                                                                                   
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                   
               this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
