                Appeal 2006-3027                                                                               
                Application 10/369,706                                                                         

                record, including due consideration of Appellants’ arguments, we determine                     
                that the preponderance of evidence weighs most heavily in favor of                             
                obviousness within the meaning of § 103(a).  Therefore we affirm the                           
                rejection of claims 1-12 under § 103(a) over Maruta in view of Kimiya.                         
                      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) (2006).                          
                                                    AFFIRMED
