          Application No. 08/128,740                                                  


               Given this record, we concur with appellants that the                  
          examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness              
          regarding the claimed subject matter within the meaning of 35               
          U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, we reverse the examiner’s decision              
          rejecting all of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
