            Appeal No. 95-0005                                                                           
            Application 08/141,412                                                                       

            examiner has failed to explain why the particular electronic                                 
            system claimed by the appellant would have been obvious.                                     
                  The examiner has failed to set forth a reasonable case of                              
            prima facie obviousness.  The examiner’s explanations are                                    
            largely incomplete and do not focus on the specifics of what                                 
            has been claimed.  Also, the requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 112,                                
            sixth paragraph, have evidently been ignored.  For these                                     
            reasons, we do not sustain the rejection of claims 44-50 under                               
            35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Lapsley, Tolson,                                  
            and White.                                                                                   
                                              Conclusion                                                 
                  The rejection of claims 44-50 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                                 
            being unpatentable over Lapsley, Tolson, and White is
