          Appeal No. 1996-0670                                                        
          Application No. 08/043,388                                                  


               For the foregoing reasons and those set forth in the                   
          Answer, we determine that the examiner has established a prima              
          facie case of obviousness.  Based on the totality of the                    
          record, with due consideration of appellant’s arguments and                 
          evidence, we determine that the preponderance of evidence                   
          weighs in favor of obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103.  Accordingly, the                                                    
























                                         11
