                 Appeal 2007-1289                                                                                     
                 Application 10/425,899                                                                               
                 and encryption capabilities discussed at page 8 of the Specification as filed.                       
                 An artisan’s understanding of the software within the portable device 15 of                          
                 Sabet as well as the limited software within the flash memory 13 of this                             
                 reference are both separate from the operating system software on the                                
                 computer 11 in Sabet’s figure 1 to the extent recited in dependent claim 8 on                        
                 appeal.  Our earlier remarks in this opinion are reflective of the obvious                           
                 nature of the subject matter of claims 13, 15, 16, and 20.                                           
                        In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner rejecting all                          
                 claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 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).  See 37 C.F.R.                                
                 § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
