          Appeal No. 2005-0276                                                        
          Application No. 09/736,941                                                  

          in electrical communication with a television or video cassette             
          recorder to be controlled, would have suggested this subject                
          matter.                                                                     
               Finally, we shall sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)              
          rejection of dependent claims 2 through 5, 7, 9 and 10 as being             
          unpatentable over Croy in view of Tiemann since the appellant has           
          not challenged such with any reasonable specificity, thereby                
          allowing these claims to stand or fall with their respective base           
          claims (see In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2 USPQ2d 1525,              
          1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987)).                                                     
                                       SUMMARY                                        
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 through 10             
          is affirmed.
