However, we do 4 not sustain the Examiner’s rejections of claims 1 through 48 under 35 U.S.C. 5 § 103(a) as we do not find that sufficient evidence to support the Examiner’s 6 rejection of independent claims 1, 13, 25, and 37. The decision of the Examiner 7 is affirmed. 8 No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this 9 appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006). 10 11 AFFIRMED 12 13 14 15 16 17 vsh 18 19 20 HESLIN, ROTHENBERG, FARLEY & MESITI PC 21 5 COLUMBIA CIRCLE 22 ALBANY NY 12203 11Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
