Appeal 2006-2603 Application 10/270,486 process with the reasonable expectation that such compensation would maximize the efficiency of the process, whether or not Appellants' particular advantage of thickness uniformity was projected. As noted in our Decision, Appellants have proffered no objective evidence which demonstrates that effecting voltage compensation in the claimed anodization process produces a uniformity in thickness that would have been unexpected to one of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, we have granted Appellants' request to the extent we have reconsidered our decision, but we deny the request to make any change therein.
