          Appeal No. 99-0257                                         Page 8           
          Application No. 08/728,909                                                  


               It is our opinion that the teachings of Estevez and                    
          Goesser fail to establish a prima facie case of obviousness                 
          with regard to the subject matter of claim 10, and we therefore             
          will not sustain the rejection of this claim on this basis, or              
          of claims 2, 4 and 6-8, which depend therefrom.                             
               The deficiencies in the basic combination of references                
          are not alleviated by additionally considering the teachings of             
          the other applied references.  We therefore also will not                   
          sustain either of the other rejections.
