          Appeal No.1996-3237                                                         
          Application 08/266,431                                                      


          examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of the                  
          obviousness of claims 6-9.  Therefore, the decision of the                  
          examiner rejecting claims 6-9 is reversed.
