Appeal No. 2006-1176 Application No. 09/926,202 Thus, having considered the totality of record, including due consideration of all of the arguments proffered by both the examiner and the appellant, we determine that the examiner has established a prima facie case of obviousness, which has not been sufficiently rebutted by the appellant. Accordingly, we affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 6 through 21 under Section 103(a). CONCLUSION In view of the foregoing, we affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting all of the claims on appeal under Section 103(a).
