              Appeal No. 1997-0211                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/252,288                                                                                  


              appellant’s arguments made in the appeal brief, and we will not speculate as to the proper                  
              application of the art to the claims.  Since the Examiner has not adequately addressed the                  
              limitations of the claims, the Examiner has not presented a prima facie case of                             
              obviousness, and we will not sustain the rejection of claim 3 and claims 4, 5 and 9-14                      
              grouped therewith which contain limitations to the integrating means.                                       
                                                    CONCLUSION                                                            

                     To summarize:                                                                                        
                            the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1, 2 and 6-8 under 35 U.S.C. §                  
              103 is affirmed;  and the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 3-5 and 9-14 under 35                   
              U.S.C. 103 is reversed.                                                                                     
                     The Examiner's decision is affirmed-in-part.                                                         


















                                                           10
