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). AFFIRMED ) Toni R.
