                Appeal 2007-1517                                                                                   
                Application 09/726,973                                                                             
                sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claim 14 as being unpatentable over                            
                Mitchell in view of Haitsuka and Nickerson.  Lastly, we will sustain the                           
                Examiner’s rejection of claim 18 as being unpatentable over Mitchell in                            
                view of Haitsuka and Philyaw.                                                                      
                                                 CONCLUSION                                                        
                       We have sustained at least one rejection for each claim on appeal.                          
                Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-18 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).
