               Appeal 2007-1019                                                                       
               Application 09/851,231                                                                 

               the meaning of § 103.  We also note that Appellants base no argument upon              
               objective evidence of nonobviousness, such as unexpected results. In                   
               addition, we find no disclosure in the original specification that                     
               microchannels are formed by annealing.                                                 
                    In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well stated by              
               the Examiner, the Examiner’s decision rejecting the appealed claims 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)(1)(iv) (2006).
