          Application No. 08/031,793                                                  


          § 103 before us.  Absent a more factually specific statement                
          of the rejection, we cannot sustain the rejection of claims 1-              
          16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Bruchmann.  See               
          In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1444 (Fed.              
          Cir. 1992) (the examiner bears the initial burden of                        
          presenting a prima facie case of unpatentability).
