            Application No. 09/825,612                                                                 

            relevant, let alone sufficient to rebut the examiner’s prima                               
            facie case of anticipation.                                                                
                  For these reasons and those set forth in the answer, we                              
            affirm the examiner’s rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) of: (i)                          
            appealed claims 13 through 15, 22 through 26, and 28 as                                    
            anticipated by Chang; and (ii) appealed claims 16 through 18 as                            
            anticipated by Chang, as evidenced by Muller.                                              
                  The decision of the examiner is affirmed.                                            
                  No time period for taking any subsequent action in                                   
            connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                                   
            § 1.136(a).
