          Appeal No. 95-3336                                                          
          Application No. 07/984,448                                                  


               For the foregoing reasons, we determine that there is no               
          reason, suggestion, or motivation to combine the references in              
          the manner proposed by the examiner.  Accordingly, the                      
          examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness              
          and the examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 4 under 35                 
          U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Conder in view of Hattori or              
          Yogi is reversed.  In re Rouffet, 149 F.3d at 1358, 47 USPQ2d               
          at 1458 (Fed. Cir. 1998).                                                   




               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              
           REVERSED
