          Appeal No. 1998-2622                                                        
          Application No. 08/530,684                                                  


               For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner              
          has not established a prima facie case of obviousness in view               
          of the reference evidence.  Accordingly, the rejection of                   
          claims 1 through 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over              
          Siskin cannot be sustained.                                                 
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
