Appeal No. 1998-0693 Application No. 08/387,583 the examiner made a prima facie case with respect to claims 6, 11, 17, 21, 27 and 32 which contain similar limitations but are more detailed than claim 1. Therefore, we cannot sustain the rejection of claims 1-36. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-36 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. REVERSED JAMES D.
