          Appeal No. 2004-2014                                                        
          Application 09/874,672                                                      


               In view of the foregoing, we concur with the examiner that             
          the claimed subject matter as a whole would have been obvious to            
          one of ordinary skill in the art within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.            
          § 103.  Accordingly, we affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting            
          all of the claims on appeal 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).
