         Appeal No. 2006-1816                                                       
         Application No. 10/386,146                                                 
              We observe that Appellants have not disputed any other                
         teachings of Graves and its combinability with Ko, nor have                
         provided any arguments with respect to any other claims.                   
         Therefore, as the Examiner has established a prima facie case of           
         obviousness with respect to claim 1, we sustain the 35 U.S.C.              
         § 103(a) rejection of claim 1, as well as claims 2, 5-8, 10, 12-15, as falling
         together (brief, page 5), over Ko and Graves.
