          Application No. 08/763,955                                                  
          art" to reject the claims on appeal.  The examiner's                        
          unsupported assertions are not a substitute for evidence, and               
          do not amount to the substantial evidence required to                       
          establish a prima facie                                                     
          showing of obviousness of the claimed invention.  Accordingly,              
          the examiner's rejection of claims 7-14 and 16-18 under 35                  
          U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                                   



















                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 7-14 and 16-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
