                Appeal 2007-1959                                                                             
                Application 10/039,789                                                                       

                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                   
                      Because Appellants have failed to point to any error in the Examiner’s                 
                position, we sustain the § 103 rejection with respect to claims 1 and 22-26,                 
                and also with respect to claims 3, 6-8, 10-15, 18, 20, and 21, which are                     
                argued together with claim 1 (Br. 14).   Therefore, we sustain the 35 U.S.C.                 
                § 103 rejection of claims 1, 3, 6-8, 10-15, 18, 20, 21, 23, and 26 over                      
                Poulsen and Sundaresan, and of claims 22, 24, and 25 over Poulsen,                           
                Sundaresan, and Hardwick.                                                                    

                                                DECISION                                                     
                      The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1, 3, 6-8, 10-15, 18,                    
                and 20-26 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).
