                Appeal 2006-3349                                                                             
                Application 09/908,360                                                                       
                along a vertically oriented longitudinal axis.  We therefore conclude that                   
                Kojima comprises “a two robot drive hub with four coaxial shafts along a                     
                vertically oriented longitudinal axis” as recited in claims 80 and 86.                       
                Appellants thus have not demonstrated that the Examiner erred in rejecting                   
                claims 80-89 under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103.  All of the rejections under                    
                35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103 are sustained.                                                      

                                                SUMMARY                                                      
                      The decision of the Examiner to reject claims 80-99 is affirmed.                       
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                     
                this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).  See 37 C.F.R.                       
                § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006).
