                Appeal No. 95-2647                                                                                                       
                Application 08/068,105                                                                                                   

                        For the foregoing reasons, the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-4 and 14-17 under 35 U.S.C. §                    

                103 over Shapland and Russo is reversed for failure to establish a prima facie case.  Since the teachings                

                of Arakawa are not seen to make up for the deficiencies of Shapland and Russo, we also reverse the                       

                examiner’s rejection of claims 1-19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Shapland, Russo and Arakawa.                              

                Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is reversed.                                                                   

                                                             REVERSED
