OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellants' specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellants and the
examiner. Upon evaluation of all the evidence before us, it
is
our conclusion that the evidence adduced by the examiner is
insufficient to establish a prima facie case of obviousness
with respect to claims 1 and 3 through 22. Accordingly, we
will not sustain the examiner's rejections of claims 1 and 3
