          Appeal No. 97-1836                                                          
          Application No. 08/324,818                                                  


               It therefore is our opinion that the combined teachings                
          of Sims and Gilman fail to establish a prima facie case of                  
          obviousness with regard to the subject matter recited in the                
          three independent claims and, it follows, of any of the claims              
          depending therefrom.  This being the case, the rejection                    
          cannot be sustained.                                                        


























                                          8
