                Appeal 2007-1852                                                                             
                Application 10/936,925                                                                       

                would reasonably conclude that alumina and alumina-zirconia could be used                    
                as the abrasive in a cold spraying process.                                                  
                      Accordingly, the rejection of claims 10-13, 15, 16, and 18 under                       
                35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over Seth in view of Howard and Benoit                    
                is affirmed.  Because Appellants have not presented any additional                           
                substantive arguments with respect to claim 17, the rejection of claim 17                    
                under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over Seth in view of Howard,                        
                Benoit, and Matarese is also 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).
