         Appeal No. 2006-1371                                                       
         Application No. 10/323,250                                                 
         Regarding any affirmed rejection, 37 CFR § 41.52(a)(1)                     
         provides "[a]ppellants may file a single request for rehearing             
         within two months from the date of the original decision of the            
         Board."                                                                    
              The effective date of the affirmance is deferred until                
         conclusion of the proceedings before the examiner unless, as a             
         mere incident to the limited proceedings, the affirmed rejections          
         are overcome.  If the proceedings before the examiner do not               
         result in allowance of the application, abandonment or a second            
         appeal, this case should be returned to the Board of Patent                
         Appeals and Interferences for final action on the affirmed                 
         rejections, including any timely request for rehearing thereof.
