                Application 10/417,656                                                                         

                decline Appellants’ invitation to read limitations from the disclosure into the                
                claims.                                                                                        

                                          CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                    
                      The obviousness of the claimed subject matter has been demonstrated                      
                by the Examiner.  The Examiner did not have to resort to impermissible                         
                hindsight to demonstrate the prima facie obviousness of claims 1 to 24.                        

                                                 DECISION                                                      
                      The obviousness rejections of claims 1 to 24 are 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)(1)(iv).
