          Appeal No. 96-0655                                                          
          Application No. 08/052,507                                                  


          Therefore the Schön reference does not supply the suggestion                
          or teaching missing from Judkins and Worcester.                             
               For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner              
          has not established a prima facie case of obviousness in view               
          of the applied prior art.  Accordingly, the rejections of all               
          of the claims on appeal are reversed.  In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d              
          1443, 1445, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1444 (Fed. Cir. 1992).                          
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
