Appeal No. 2000-2254 Application No. 08/746,746 Each of the claims which depends from claim 24 recites a feature which was argued and considered above. Therefore, we also sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 25-29 and 31-35 for reasons discussed above. In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejection with respect to claims 1-12, 24-29, 31-35 and 47, but we have not sustained the rejection with respect to claims 13-23, 36-40 and 42-46. Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-29, 31-40 and 42-47 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).
