          Appeal No. 1997-2818                                                        
          Application No. 08/322,370                                                  

               In the final analysis, the only way the examiner could                 
          have arrived at appellants’ claimed invention is through                    
          hindsight based on appellants’ teachings.  Hindsight analysis,              
          however, is clearly improper.  In re Deminski, 796 F.2d 436,                
          443, 230 USPQ 313, 316 (Fed. Cir. 1986).
