            Appeal No. 2006-2666                                                                              
            Application No. 10/140,531                                                                        
            and evidence, we conclude that the subject matter of claims 44 to 54 would have                   
            been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art from the combined teachings of              
            the cited prior art.  See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1444                
            (Fed. Cir. 1992).  Accordingly, the Examiner's rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                 
            affirmed.                                                                                         
            TIME FOR TAKING ACTION                                                                            
                   No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                    
            appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(iv).
