          Appeal No. 96-0899                                                          
          Application 07/863,216                                                      

          comprising rectilinear arrays, we hold that the examiner has not            
          established a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the            
          claimed subject matter of instant claim 10 and we will not                  
          sustain the rejection of claim 10 under 35 U.S.C. 103.                      
          Accordingly, we also will not sustain the rejection of claim 11,            
          which depends from claim 10, under 35 U.S.C. 103.                           
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
                    We have sustained the rejection of claims 5 through 7             
          under 35 U.S.C. 103 but we have not sustained the rejection of              
          claims 8 through 11 under 35 U.S.C. 103.                                    
                    Accordingly, the examiner's decision is affirmed-in-              
          part.                                                                       


















                                         -11-
