               Appeal Number: 2006-2840                                                                                              
               Application Number: 10/080,571                                                                                        

               specification teaches that the results are exactly those expected, namely carrying exactly two data                   
               points for each hole.  Therefore, we find the appellant's arguments to be unpersuasive.                               
                    Accordingly we sustain the examiner's rejection of claims 1, 3 through 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11                        
               rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Meadows in view of Ross.                                               
                                                          CONCLUSION                                                                 
                    To summarize,                                                                                                    
                   • The rejection of claims 1, 3 through 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                       
                       obvious over Meadows in view of Ross is sustained.                                                            
                    No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be                            
               extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
