          Appeal No. 2004-1676                                                         
          Application 09/263,918                                                       

          computers for the same reason.  We conclude that it would have               
          been obvious to implement the software SAR functions taught by               
          Kwak on the CPU of a personal computer.                                      
                                      CONCLUSION                                       
               For the reasons stated above, we conclude that appellants'              
          have not shown error in the examiner's rejection.  The rejection             
          of claims 1, 4, 5, and 7-16 is sustained.                                    
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                      
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                     
          § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2004).
