          Appeal No. 2006-0466                                                        
          Application No. 10/175,787                                                  

                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               Thus, based on the totality of record, including due                   
          consideration of the appellants’ arguments, we determine that the           
          preponderance of evidence weighs most heavily in favor of                   
          obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                       
          Accordingly, we affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting the                
          claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                                  
                                     TIME PERIOD                                      
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
