          Appeal No. 96-0310                                                          
          Application 08/084,502                                                      


          USPQ 263, 267 (CCPA 1961); In re Boyer, 363 F.2d 455, 458 n.2,              
          150 USPQ 441, 442 n.2 (CCPA 1966).                                          
          Since we have determined that the invention as broadly                      
          recited in claim 1 is suggested by the teachings of the                     
          applied prior art, and since all the claims stand or fall                   
          together for reasons discussed above, we sustain the rejection              
          of claims 1-18 as unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                       
          Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-18               
          is affirmed.                                                                
          No time period for taking any subsequent action in                          
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
