                  Appeal 2006-2948                                                                                             
                  Application 10/194,872                                                                                       

                  The Reply Brief was not in the appeal file when we considered the appeal                                     
                  and issued our decision.                                                                                     
                          Accordingly, we have reconsidered our decision anew in light of the                                  
                  arguments presented in the Reply Brief.  Having done so, we remain of the                                    
                  opinion that the Examiner’s rejection is well founded and in accord with                                     
                  current patent jurisprudence.  Consequently, we make no change in our                                        
                  original decision to affirm the Examiner’s Rejection.                                                        
                          No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                                   
                  this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2004).
