                Application No. 08/688,337                                                                                                     

                                                              CONCLUSION                                                                       
                         We conclude that the Examiner has established a prima facie case of obviousness with                                  
                respect to the subject matter of claims 1-8 which has not been sufficiently rebutted by Appellant.                             
                         To summarize, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)                              
                is affirmed.                                                                                                                   
                         No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be                                 
                extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
