               Appeal 2007-1630                                                                            
               Application 10/422,661                                                                      
                                               DECISION                                                    
                      Based on the findings of facts and analysis above, we conclude that                  
               the Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 1-3, 7-9, and 13-15 under                      
               § 102(b) for anticipation and claims 4-6, 10-12, and 16-18 under § 103(a) for               
               obviousness.  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).
