          Application No. 10/210,046                                                  

               Thus, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)             
          rejection of claim 4 as being unpatentable over Kanter in view of           
          Hamilton.                                                                   
                                     SUMMARY                                         
               As at least one rejection of each of the appealed claims is            
          sustained, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-5, 7,            
          9 and 13-20 is affirmed.                                                    
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
