                  Application No. 08/289,347                                                                                                              


                           Therefore, the examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness of                                               
                  the invention as recited in the language of claim 10, and we cannot sustain the rejection of                                            
                  claim 10.                                                                                                                               
                                                                  CONCLUSION                                                                              

                           To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claim 10 under 35 U.S.C.                                                  
                  § 103(a) is reversed.
