          Appeal No. 1997-3977                                                        
          Application No. 08/267,579                                                  


          Accordingly, the problems solved are sufficiently different so              
          as to fail the second criteria outlined above.  Therefore, we               
          see no reason why the skilled artisan would turn to                         
          Wakabayashi to cure the deficiencies of Roth.  Consequently,                
          the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of                  
          obviousness.  Thus, we cannot sustain the rejection of claims               
          1 through 15.                                                               
                                     CONCLUSION                                       























                                          8
