          Appeal No. 1999-0956                                                        
          Application No. 08/584,084                                                  

          of functioning in the manner called for in the preamble of claim            
          28.  This being the case, the examiner has not met his initial              
          burden of establishing a prima facie case of anticipation.                  
               In light of the foregoing, we shall not sustain the                    
          rejection of claim 28, or claims 29-31 and 33-35 that depend                
          therefrom, as being anticipated by Labombarde.
