              Appeal No. 2000-1952                                                                                        
              Application No. 09/006,920                                                                                  


                     With respect to the combination of Gururangan and Heintz, appellants argue that                      
              Heintz is similar to the teachings of Lloyd and relies upon similar arguments.  (See brief                  
              at page 8.)  While not overly detailed, we again find that the examiner has not made a                      
              prima facie case of obviousness for the combination of the teachings of both                                
              references, and we will not sustain the rejection of independent claim 1 and dependent                      
              claims 14 and 15.                                                                                           

























                                                            7
