          Appeal No. 95-3565                                                          
          Application 08/053,814                                                      

          Examiner’s Answer at 6.  This is insufficient for stating a prima           
          facie case.  Moreover, it appears that the examiner’s rejection             
          is based on the position, rejected above, that appellants are not           
          entitled to claim a multiresonant (multiple frequency) device.              
                    Because the examiner has not demonstrated how  each               
          element of a claim is found in a single prior art reference, we             
          will not sustain the rejection.                                             
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
                    The rejections of claims 1-7, 10, 11, and 19-28 are not           
          sustained.
