                  Appeal No. 1999-2814                                                                                     
                  Application No. 08/990,539                                                                               

                  21, and 23-26 also fails because the examiner has not shown that the cited                               
                  references suggest all of the limitations of the  claimed process.                                       
                                                        Summary                                                            
                         We reverse the rejection under 35 U.S.C. §  103 because the cited                                 
                  references do not support a prima facie case of obviousness.
