           Appeal No.  2006-1403                                                                     
           Application No. 10/011,665                                                                
           Perrino’s teachings do not undermine this combination, but                                
           rather support an obviousness conclusion therefor.  In view of                            
           these findings, we hereby sustain the Examiner’s § 103 rejection                          
           of all appealed claims as being obvious over Lochkovic in view                            
           of Teed.                                                                                  
                 The decision of the Examiner is affirmed.                                           
                 No time period for taking any subsequent action in                                  
           connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
