          Appeal No. 1999-1515                                                        
          Application No. 08/451,719                                                  


               In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a                
          prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection              
          of all of the appealed claims cannot be sustained.  Therefore,              
          the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 18-27 and 30-44               
          is reversed.
