          Appeal No. 1997-3962                                                        
          Application 08/500,741                                                      



          sufficient to meet this heavy burden.  As noted above,                      
          however, determination of this question is not necessary to                 
          dispose of this appeal.                                                     
          In summary, we have not sustained the examiner’s                            
          rejection of claims 6-9.  Therefore, the decision of the                    
          examiner rejecting claims 6-9 is reversed.
