          Appeal No. 2002-0252                                                        
          Application No. 08/735,159                                                  
          the examiner has not made a prima case in rejecting claims 2, 5             
          and 7 through 10 over Lanzetta and Mankovitz.                               
               The examiner rejects claims 3, 4 and 6 (answer at pages 4              
          and 5) over Lanzetta in view of Mankovitz and Henze.  However,              
          since Henze does not cure the deficiency of the combination of              
          Lanzetta and Mankovitz, and noting that these claims contain at             
          least the limitations recited in independent claim 2, we also do            
          not sustain the rejection of claims 3, 4 and 6 over Lanzetta in             
          view of Mankovitz and Henze.                                                
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 2 through 10             
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
