          Appeal No. 95-3912                                                          
          Application 08/087,247                                                      


          and pieces of the respective circuit elements from the                      
          respective references relied upon.  In any event, we are not                
          convinced the examiner has established a prima facie case of                
          obviousness of the subject matter of independent claims 1, 7,               
          14 and 20 on the basis of Fisk and Federico.  As such, we also              
          reverse the rejection of additional dependent claims further                
          relying upon the teachings of Daughton.                                     


               Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims               
          1 to 23 on appeal is reversed.
