                 Application No.  08/232,452                                                                          

                                                   CONCLUSION                                                         
                        Because the rejections of record have failed to set forth a prima facie                       
                 case of obviousness, they are reversed.  In addition, the examiner may wish to                       
                 address the patentability of the product of claim 29 separately from the method                      
                 claims that were the sole focus of the rejections of record.                                         
                                                    REVERSED
