          Appeal No. 1998-2311                                                        
          Application No. 08/401,869                                                  


               In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a                
          prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection              
          of independent claims 1, 12, 19, and 22 and claims 3-11, 13,                
          14, 16-18, 20, 21, and 23-37 dependent thereon, cannot be                   
          sustained.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting               
          claims 1, 3-14, and 16-37 is reversed.
