          Appeal No. 2003-1374                                                        
          Application No. 09/591,947                                                  


          agree with the appellants that Hayes and Prescott are from                  
          nonanalogous art.                                                           
               In view of the foregoing, we determine that the prior art              
          references as a whole would have rendered the claimed subject               
          matter obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.  Hence, we              
          affirm the examiner’s decision rejection claims 13, 15 and 19 under         
          35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                            
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection          
          with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
