          Appeal No. 1998-0922                                                        
          Application No. 08/386,862                                                  


               Since it is our opinion, for at least the reasons                      
          discussed above, that the Examiner has failed to establish a                
          prima facie case of obviousness, we do not sustain the                      
          Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                                                        
          § 103 rejection of independent claims 5 and 16-18, nor of                   
          claims 6 and 8-15 dependent thereon.  Accordingly, the                      
          Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 5, 6, and 8-18 is                      
          reversed.
