              Application No. 09/829,007                                                                                    


                                                         CONCLUSION                                                         

                  To summarize,                                                                                             

                  • The rejections of claims 1, 4-8, 10, 12-15, 16-18, and 20-28 under 35 U.S.C.                            
                      § 102 as being unpatentable as anticipated by Finkelstein, are sustained.                             

                  • The rejections of claims 9 and 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable                           
                      as obvious over Finkelstein, are sustained.                                                           

                  • The rejections of claims 2 and 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable                            
                      as obvious over Finkelstein in view of Brown ‘163, are sustained.                                     

                  • The rejections of claims 11 and 35-40 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                                    
                      unpatentable as obvious over Finkelstein in view of Brown ‘469, are sustained.                        

                  No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may                        
              be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
