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). AFFIRMED. ) KENNETH W.
