          Appeal No. 1999-0162                                                        
          Application No. 08/414,248                                                  


               In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a                
          prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection              
          of independent claim 26 and claims 27-45 dependent thereon,                 
          cannot be sustained.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner               
          rejecting claims 26-45 is reversed.                                         


                                      REVERSED
