          Appeal No. 1998-1568                                                        
          Application No. 08/336,352                                                  


               In view of the foregoing, we agree with appellants that                
          the examiner on this record fails to establish a prima facie                
          case of obviousness regarding the claimed subject matter                    
          within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, we                     
          reverse the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 through 4                
          and 7 through 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
