         Appeal No. 2006-2629                                                    
         Application No. 09/887,066                                              

              For the above reasons we conclude that the examiner has not        
         carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of                
         obviousness of the appellants’ claimed invention.                       
                                    DECISION                                     
              The rejection of claims 9-23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over            
         Issenmann in view of Cheney is reversed.
