          Appeal No. 1995-3349                                       Page 8           
          Application No. 08/066,994                                                  


          washing stages (answer, pages 4 and 5) does not address the                 
          recited differing dissolved oxygen limitations of claim 7.                  
          Accordingly, we conclude that the examiner has not met the                  
          initial burden of presenting a prima facie case of obviousness              
          regarding the subject matter of claim 7.                                    
               In light of the above, we cannot sustain the examiner's                
          stated rejection.
