           Appeal No. 2006-3126                                            Page 15            
           Application No. 10/154,060                                                         

                Appellant argues that dependent claims 16-18 are improperly rejected          

           for the same reasons that independent claim 13 is improperly rejected              

           [brief, page 11].  Accordingly, we will sustain the examiner’s rejection of        

           these claims for the same reasons discussed supra with respect to                  

           independent claim 13.                                                              

                In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejections of all claims         

           on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-18 is       

           affirmed.                                                                          

           No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this            

           appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
