          Appeal No. 1997-2628                                       Page 8           
          Application No. 08/383,713                                                  


               Additionally, the examiner has not established that a                  
          process corresponding to that at issue herein would have                    
          resulted even if the prior art references were combinable for               
          reasons as set forth in the briefs.                                         
               For the foregoing reasons and those set forth in                       
          appellants’ briefs, we determine that the examiner has not                  
          established a prima facie case of obviousness in view of the                
          reference evidence.  Accordingly, the examiner’s rejection of               
          the claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable                  
          over Higaki in view of Dworsky or Jack is reversed.
