          Appeal No. 1996-4135                                       Page 8           
          Application No. 08/346,325                                                  


               For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that the examiner               
          has not met the initial burden of presenting a case of prima                
          facie obviousness.  Accordingly, we reverse the examiner’s                  
          rejections.                                                                 


                                      CONCLUSION                                      
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 1-3, 5, 10, 11 and 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                 
          unpatentable over Okamoto or, in the alternative, Okamoto in                
          view of Davis, and claims 8, 9, 12 and 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103             
          as being unpatentable
