          Appeal No. 2000-0895                                                        
          Application No. 08/754,797                                                  


          through 27, 29 through 32 and 34 through 41.                                




               Since we have determined that the prior art relied on by               
          the examiner does not establish a prima facie case of                       
          obviousness, it is unnecessary for this panel to consider                   
          appellants' arguments (main brief, pages 4-9) regarding the                 
          objective evidence of nonobviousness.                                       
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the rejection of claims 22 through 32 and                
          34 through 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                            
                                      REVERSED
