          Application No. 08/119,205                                                  


          appellants’ general viewpoint that the examiner has failed to               
          establish on this record a prima facie case of obviousness                  
          with respect to the amounts of BPAM required by appealed claim              
          9.  Indeed, we find in the Answer no exposition by the                      
          examiner as to why the applied references would have suggested              
          such amounts to an artisan with ordinary skill.                             
               For the above stated reasons, the examiner’s § 103                     
          rejection of claims 9 through 37 and 39 as being unpatentable               
          over Hense in view of Kozuka cannot be sustained.                           
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
