                 Appeal No.  2005-0509                                                      Page 12                    
                 Application No. 09/449,237                                                                            


                 and advise” (answer at page 10).  The Roth reference in combination with the                          
                 Baker and Szabo patents fails to cure the deficiencies of Baker and Szabo noted                       
                 above with respect to claim 86.  Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner’s                        
                 rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 for the same reasons as set forth above.                              
                                                     Conclusion                                                        
                        In view of the foregoing discussion, we have sustained the rejection under                     
                 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 81, 82, 85, and 93, and we have not sustained the                           
                 rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 83-84, 86-92, and 95-97.                                    
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                        
                 appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
