Appeal No. 1998-2884 Application No. 08/495,960 Examiner’s obviousness rejection of independent claim 22, as well as dependent claims 23-26 and 28 which fall with claim 22, is sustained. In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 112, first and second paragraph, rejections of claims 13-19 and 21. We have, however, sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 22-26 and 28. Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 13-19, 21-26, and 28 is affirmed-in-part. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
