Appeal No. 97-1086 Application 08/326,604 references to Isert and Neighbour, we note the presence of no such structure in those references either. Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner's rejection of claim 3 or the claims which depend therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Based on the foregoing reasoning, we have sustained the examiner's rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1, 2, 10, 11 and 12, but reversed the examiner's rejections of claims 3 through 9 and 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the examiner is accordingly affirmed-in-part. No time period for taking any subsequent action in con- nection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
