             Application 10/688,449                                                                             
             dependent claims 2-5, 7-10, and 12-15.  As such, these claims fall with their                      
             respective independent claims 1, 6, and 11.  37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(vii) (2006).                  

                                         CONCLUSIONS OF LAW                                                     
                   We conclude that Appellant has not shown that the Examiner erred in                          
             finding claim 1-15 unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over the combination of                   
             Bond and Ohno.                                                                                     

                                                  DECISION                                                      
                   The decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-15 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.
