                        Because the examiner has set forth a prima facie case of obviousness for

                 § 103(a) as being obvious over the combination of Mehta and Ulukaya is                                
                 affirmed.                                                                                             
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                        
                 appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
