          Appeal No. 96-1548                                                          
          Application 08/288,127                                                      


          teaching by Ohki of the disadvantages of a gravitational flow               
          apparatus similar to the apparatus disclosed by Oki.  For the               
          foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner has failed                
          to establish a prima facie case of obviousness in view of the               
          applied prior art.  Accordingly, the                                        


          rejection of claims 11-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                          
          unpatentable over Oki in view of Ohki is reversed.                          
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
