                Appeal 2007-4193                                                                               
                Application 10/367,432                                                                         

                      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 Willis and Stuart with Appellants’ countervailing                        
                evidence of and argument for nonobviousness and conclude that the claimed                      
                invention encompassed by appealed claims 1 through 11 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) (2007).                          
                                                 AFFIRMED                                                      











                cam                                                                                            










                                                      13
