          Appeal No. 1998-1898                                                        
          Application 08/497,721                                                      

               For the reasons stated above, we conclude that                         
          Appellants have rebutted any prima facie case of public use                 
          or on sale activity of the claimed invention prior to the                   
          critical date.  The rejection of claims 1-3, 5, and 7-10 is                 
          reversed.                                                                   
                                     REVERSED
