          Appeal No. 1999-0595                                                        
          Application 08/704,186                                                      


          invention.  Therefore, the examiner has not addressed the                   
          obviousness of these differences between Ishii and the claimed              
          invention.  Accordingly, the examiner has failed to establish               
          a prima facie case of obviousness, and we do not sustain the                
          examiner’s rejection of claims 8 and 9.
