         Appeal No. 2004-1045                                                       
         Application 09/282,129                                                     



         for other purposes such as changing the size of the window) so as          
         to produce the appellants’ swinging.  Nor has the examiner                 
         pointed out, in support of the rejection under 35 U.S.C.                   
         § 102(e), where Horvitz discloses such swinging.                           
              For the above reasons we find that the examiner has not               
         carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of                   
         anticipation of the appellants’ claimed invention.                         
                                      DECISION                                      
              The rejection of claims 1, 2, 10-12, 15-17, 25-29, 35-39              
         and 44-46 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) over Horvitz is reversed.
