                 Appeal No. 2006-2930                                                                                     
                 Application No. 10/299,198                                                                               


                 argued the patentability of dependent claims 8, 9, 11, and 13, these claims fall                         
                 with the independent claims.  See In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2 USPQ2d                           
                 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987).  See also 37 CFR § 41.37(c)(vii).                                           
                         In summary, we have sustained the examiner's rejection with respect to all                       
                 claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 7-11                         
                 and 13 is affirmed.                                                                                      






























                                                            9
