                Appeal 2007-1895                                                                                
                Application 10/719,489                                                                          

                       Accordingly, based on our consideration of the totality of the record                    
                before us, we have weighed the evidence of obviousness found in the                             
                combined teachings of Bilgrien and Boudreau with Appellants’                                    
                countervailing evidence of and argument for nonobviousness and conclude                         
                that the claimed invention encompassed by appealed claims 1 through 16                          
                would have been obvious as a matter of law under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                            
                       The Primary Examiner’s decision 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) (2006).                           
                                                 AFFIRMED
