          Appeal No. 2001-1776                                                        
          Application No. 08/881,948                                                  

          appellants’ arguments as discussed above, we determine that the             
          preponderance of evidence weighs most heavily in favor of                   
          obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly,            
          we affirm all of the examiner’s rejections on appeal.                       
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
