          Appeal No. 1997-1063                                                        
          Application No. 08/414,702                                                  


               Under these circumstances, we agree with appellants that               
          the evidence of unobviousness outweighs the evidence of                     
          obviousness proffered by the examiner.  Accordingly, we                     
          reverse the examiner’s decision rejecting all of the appealed               
          claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over the applied prior art.                    
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              


                                      REVERSED
