          Appeal No. 2000-0882                                                        
          Application No. 08/890,582                                                  
               We should note that evidence of unexpected results could               
          overcome the prima facie case of obviousness.  However, the                 
          single example and comparative example disclosed in the                     
          specification are not representative of all parameters and all              
          materials and, therefore, are insufficient to show that it is the           
          EMF value that produces the superior results, particularly since            
          the conditions for the example and comparative example are not              
          identical.  Accordingly, we will sustain the rejection of claims            
          1 through 12 and 14 through 22.
