          Appeal No. 2006-0516                                                                         
          Application No. 10/344,013                                                                   

          as durations of time, not that the cycle applications take place in                          
          time between those thresholds.                                                               
               For the above reasons we conclude that the examiner has not                             
          carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of                                     
          anticipation or obviousness of the appellants’ claimed invention.
