          Gorman, 933 F.2d 982, 987, 18 USPQ2d 1885, 1888 (Fed. Cir. 1991)            
          (in a determination under 35 U.S.C. § 103 it is impermissible to            
          simply engage in a hindsight reconstruction of the claimed                  
          invention, using the applicant's structure as a template and                
          selecting elements from references to fill the gaps; the                    
          references themselves must provide some teaching whereby the                
          applicant's combination would have been obvious).
