          Appeal No. 2005-0637                                                        
          Application No. 10/117,958                                                  

               In summary, with respect to the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                   
          § 102(b) rejection of appealed claims 15-17, we have not                    
          sustained the rejection of claims 15 and 17, but have sustained             
          the rejection of claim 16.  Therefore, the Examiner’s decision              
          rejecting claims 15-17 is affirmed-in-part.                                 
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
