         Appeal No. 2006-1096                                                       
         Application No. 10/453,872                                                 
              As a final point, we note that appellants base no argument            
         on objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected                
         results, which would serve to rebut the prima facie case of                
         obviousness established by the examiner.                                   
              In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner’s                 
         decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.                        
              N o  t ime period for taking any subsequent action in                 
         connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                   
         § 1.136(a).
