          Appeal No. 96-2888                                                          
          Application No. 08/222,495                                                  

          narrow in scope than claimed subject matter is not sufficient to            
          rebut a prima facie case of obviousness.  In re Dill, 604 F.2d              
          1356, 1361, 202 USPQ 805, 808 (CCPA 1979).                                  
               For the above stated reasons, it is our ultimate                       
          determination that the argument and evidence of record weighs               
          most heavily in favor of an obviousness conclusion.  It follows             
          that we will sustain the examiner’s § 103 rejection before us on            
          this appeal.                                                                
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed.
