         Appeal No. 2006-2700                                                       
         Application No. 10/705,456                                                 
         Accordingly, we will sustain the Examiner’s provisional rejection          
         of claims 3 through 21 for the reasons stated in the Examiner’s            
         Answer.                                                                    
                                       CONCLUSION                                   
              In view of the foregoing discussion, we have sustained the            
         Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 3 through 17 under 35 U.S.C.          
         § 103. We have also sustained the Examiner’s provisional                   
         rejection of claims 3 through 21 under obviousness double                  
         patenting.  Therefore, we affirm.                                          
              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).
