                 Appeal No. 2006-3200                                                         Page 9                  
                 Application No.  10/196,428                                                                          
                        For the foregoing reasons, we find that the preponderance of evidence on                      
                 this record supports the rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                         
                 unpatentable over the combination of Chao, Bokoch, Partridge, and Luchetti.                          
                 Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                           
                 discussed supra, claims 2-4 and 16-22 fall together with claim 1.                                    
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                       
                 appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
