          Appeal No. 2004-0356                                                        
          Application 09/811,993                                                      

          Accordingly, we have not considered any argument pertaining to              
          such non-entered evidence in reaching our decision in the present           
          appeal.                                                                     

          In light of the foregoing, the examiner’s rejection of                      
          claims 61 through 67, 69 through 72 and 74 under 35 U.S.C.                  
          § 103(a) will be sustained.                                                 

               Notwithstanding appellant’s request on page 5 of the brief             
          that the Board rule separately on the patentability of each                 
          appealed claim, we note that appellant has not presented                    
          arguments directed to any specific claim on appeal and failed to            
          separately argue the patentability of each of the claims on                 
          appeal.  Thus, we have concluded that claims 62 through 67, 69              
          through 72 and 74 will fall with representative independent claim           
          61.  See, In re Wood, 582 F.2d 638, 642, 199 USPQ 137, 140 (CCPA            
          1978).                                                                      

          The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 61 through 67,                
          69 through 72 and 74 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.                  


                                          13
