          Appeal No. 2006-0567                                                        
          Application 09/938,256                                                      

                    In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejection            
          of all claims on appeal, claims 1 and 3 through 27, within 35               
          U.S.C. § 103.  As to the rejection of all claims on appeal under            
          35 U.S.C. § 102, we have sustained only the rejection of                    
          independent claims 1, 11 and 16 on appeal.  Therefore, the                  
          decision of the examiner is affirmed.                                       
                   No time period for taking any subsequent action in con-           
          nection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
