Claims 21-27, 29, 30, 32-40, 43 and 44 stand rejected
under
35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Ning,

31 was withdrawn in the answer.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the
Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We will not sustain the rejection of claims 21-27, 29,
30, 32-40, 43 and 44 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
The Examiner has failed to set forth a prima facie case.
