Appeal 2007-3216 Application 10/271,433 commensurate with the level of skill in the art. Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of claim 41. Separate reasons for the patentability of claims 42 and 43 were not provided; consequently, claim 42 and 43 fall with claim 41. CONCLUSION Based on the totality of the evidence before us, we conclude that the Examiner did not err in determining that claims 1, 4, 5, and 41-43 are obvious over Brown-Skrobot in view of Mitra. TIME PERIOD 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).
