              Appeal 2006-1263                                                                  
              Application 10/173,259                                                            

                   In view of the foregoing, we will sustain the Examiner's rejection of        
              claim 1.  We will also sustain the Examiner's rejection of claims 2, 3, 6,        
              10-12, 14-18 and 20 because the  Appellants have not argued the separate          
              patentability of these claims. See In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2          
              USPQ2d 1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987).                                               
                   We turn next to the Examiner’s rejection of claims 8 and 19 under 35         
              U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Monk in view of Rice   and                
              Mumford                                                                           
                   Appellants rely on the same argument as stated above and therefore,          
              we sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 8 and 19 for the same reasons       
              as stated above.                                                                  
                                           CONCLUSION                                           
                   On the record before us, Appellants have not shown that Monk as              
              modified by Rice does not teach or suggest each and every claim limitation        
              so as to result in the claim 1 requirement for “each bushing is of                
              substantially elliptical right section . . .  .”
