          Appeal No. 2002-2277                                                          
          Application No. 09/297,527                                                    


          by the examiner on this record.  Accordingly, we must conclude                
          that the examiner has not made out a prima facie case of                      
          obviousness for the claimed subject matter.  In addition, we are              
          not satisfied that the examiner has satisfied his burden of                   
          analyzing the specification evidence of unexpected results relied             
          upon by appellants.                                                           
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, we are constrained to             
          reverse the examiner's rejection.                                             
                                       REVERSED
