                Appeal 2007-1571                                                                             
                Application 10/198,335                                                                       
                made no separate arguments with respect to the patentability of the claims                   
                but, instead, rely on arguments made with respect to independent claims 1,                   
                10, 16, and 20, which arguments we found to be unpersuasive for all of the                   
                reasons discussed supra.                                                                     

                                              CONCLUSION                                                     
                      In summary, we have sustained the Examiner’s rejections of all the                     
                claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims                  
                1-38 is affirmed.                                                                            
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                     
                this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a)(1)(iv)(effective
