          Appeal No. 1996-0452                                                        
          Application 07/790,618                                                      



          have combined the teachings of Jackson into Fortuna's system.               
          The examiner's view as to Jackson appears to be based upon                  
          prohibited hindsight derived from the claimed invention.                    
               Since we reverse the rejection of independent claims 22,               
          24 and 28, we also reverse the rejection of the respective                  
          dependent claims 23, 25 and 26.  Therefore, the decision of                 
          the examiner rejecting claims 22 through 26 and 28 under 35                 
          U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                                   
                                      REVERSED
