          Appeal No. 2001-1209                                                        
          Application No. 09/106,281                                                  


               In summary, with respect to the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                   
          § 103(a) rejections of the appealed claims, we have sustained the           
          rejection of claims 2-4 and 6-9, but have not sustained the                 
          rejection of claim 5.  Therefore, the Examiner’s decision                   
          rejecting claims 2-9 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).                                                                 
                                   AFFIRMED-IN-PART
