          Application No. 08/525,407                                                  


               reconstruction to pick and choose among isolated                       
               disclosures in the prior art to deprecate the claimed                  
               invention"  (citations omitted).                                       
               A prima facie case of obviousness therefore has not been               
          established with regard to the subject matter of claim 1, and               
          we cannot sustain the rejection of claim 1 or, it follows, of               
          claims 2, 3 and 11-17, which depend therefrom.                              
                                       SUMMARY                                        
               Neither rejection is sustained.                                        
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
