               Appeal 2007-1089                                                                             
               Application 10/348,277                                                                       
                            independent claim 1 as being unpatentable over Yao in view of                   
                            Fielder (see Issues 1 and 2).                                                   
                      F. We note that Appellants have not presented any substantive                         
                            arguments directed separately to the patentability of dependent                 
                            claims 17 and 18 (see Br. 10).  Therefore, we will sustain the                  
                            Examiner’s rejection of these claims as being unpatentable over                 
                            Yao in view of Fielder, and further in view of Singer for the                   
                            same reasons discussed supra with respect to independent claim                  
                            1 as being unpatentable over Yao in view of Fielder (see Issues                 
                            1 and 2).                                                                       
                      G. We note that Appellants have not presented any substantive                         
                            arguments directed separately to the patentability of dependent                 
                            claim 19 (see Br. 11).  Therefore, we will sustain the                          
                            Examiner’s rejection of this claim as being unpatentable over                   
                            Yao in view of Fielder, and further in view of Perks for the                    
                            same reasons discussed supra with respect to independent claim                  
                            1 as being unpatentable over Yao in view of Fielder (see Issues                 
                            1 and 2).                                                                       
                      H. We note that Appellants have not presented any substantive                         
                            arguments directed separately to the patentability of dependent                 
                            claims 21 and 22 (see Br. 11).  Therefore, we will sustain the                  
                            Examiner’s rejection of this claims as being unpatentable over                  
                            Yao in view of Fielder, and further in view of Kesselman for                    
                            the same reasons discussed supra with respect to independent
