          Appeal No. 2005-0077                                                        
          Application No. 10/293,545                                                  


          readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.  In re                
          Ludwig, 353 F.2d 241, 243-44, 147 USPQ 420, 421 (CCPA 1965).                
               As a final point, we note that appellant bases no argument             
          upon objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected               
          results, which would serve to rebut the inference of obviousness            
          established by the examiner.                                                
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well-            
          stated by the examiner, the examiner's decision rejecting the               
          appealed claims is affirmed.                                                
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
