          Appeal No. 1997-0240                                                        
          Application No. 08/163,761                                                  









               In summary, since the Examiner has not established a                   
          prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection              
          of independent claims 1, 5, 6, 10, and 15 and claims 2 through              
          4, 7 through 9, 11 through 14, 16, and 17 dependent thereon,                
          cannot be sustained.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner               
          rejecting claims 1 through 17 is reversed.                                  


                                     REVERSED
