          Appeal No. 1998-3131                                      Page 11           
          Application No. 08/192,224                                                  


          or other desired on-board (on-preform) component in a high                  
          density planar packing arrangement."  Id. at                                
          ll. 44-48.  The examiner fails to allege, let alone show, that              
          the addition of Barbero or Hoisington cures the deficiency of               
          Chan.                                                                       


               Because Chan teaches no alignment features, we are not                 
          persuaded that teachings from the applied prior art would                   
          appear to have suggested the claimed limitations of "a print                
          head mounted within the recess and shaped to define at least                
          one ink passageway along a substantial length of the print                  
          head and wherein the recess has long side edges and the body                
          is shaped to define alignment features for aligning the print               
          head in the recess spaced from the long side edges of the                   
          recess ...."  The examiner fails to establish a prima facie                 
          case of obviousness.  Therefore, we reverse the rejection of                
          claim 15 as obvious over Chan in view of Barbero further in                 
          view of Hoisington.
