               Appeal 2007-0600                                                                             
               Application 09/943,535                                                                       
               claim 1 which we did not find persuasive above.  Therefore, we will sustain                  
               the rejection of dependent claims 4, 6-8, 11, 15, and 16 since Appellants                    
               have not shown error in the Examiner’s initial showing.                                      
                                              CONCLUSION                                                    
                      To summarize, we have sustained the rejection of claims 1, 2, 5, 9, 10,               
               and 12-14 under 35 U.S.C. § 102, and we have sustained the rejections of                     
               claims 4, 6-8, 11, 15, and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                                      
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                    
               this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
