               Application No. 08/310,657                                                                                              


                       Accordingly, we find the examiner has not carried his burden of establishing a                                  
               prima facie case of lack of an adequate written description.  The rejection under                                       
               35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed.                                                                          
                                                          CONCLUSION                                                                   
                       To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 39 and 48-50 under 35                               
               U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed.
