Appeal 2006-2559 Application 10/189,476 nor claim 17 recites the use of “neovasculature characterization” or the use of “eigenfunction decompositions” as a “higher-order measure of the at least one biomarker,” and we hereby decline Appellants’ invitation to read such limitations into claims 1 and 17. Thus, we do not find any reversible error in our decision to affirm the anticipation rejection of claims 1, 8 to 14, 16, 17 and 23 to 29. Appellants’ request for rehearing has been granted to the extent that our decision has been reconsidered, but such request is denied with respect to making any modifications to the decision. 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).
