          Appeal No. 2000-1637                                       Page 6           
          Application No. 09/002,808                                                  


          operating fluid pressure in Eckerlin's passage 12 may be an                 
          obvious design expedient (i.e., the pressures that a person of              
          ordinary skill in the art would have utilized), there is no                 
          evidence that such pressure would be at least 500 p.s.i.                    


               For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the                   
          examiner to reject claims 1 to 5 and 7 to 12 under 35 U.S.C.                
          § 103 is reversed.
