          Appeal No. 95-1645                                                          
          Application No. 07/866,780                                                  


          inherently teaches such a two temperature process.  The                     
          examiner has not established that Hardwick teaches both steps,              
          nor that Hardwick suggests the claimed combination of two                   
          heating steps each at a different temperature and designed for              
          a different effect.      Thus, we fail to find a prima facie                
          case of obviousness and reverse this rejection.                             
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner refusing to allow claims 1-9              
          and 11-21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                
               No  time  period  for  taking  any  subsequent  action in              
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
















                                          5
