Appeal No. 95-3209 Application No. 08/020,304 the argument does not appear to be germane to the claims under review since these claims do not require that the die or roller temperatures be high enough to effect a molten condition of any kind much less one which would be expected to “result in breaking or tearing apart of the wire” as urged by the appellants. Under these circumstances, we will also sustain the § 103 rejection of claims 3, 7, 9 and 10 as being unpatentable over Yamamoto in view of the admitted prior art and further in view Takizawa. Conclusion The decision of the examiner is affirmed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
