          Appeal No. 2000-2258                                                        
          Application No. 08/888,759                                                  

               In conclusion, since the Examiner has not established a prima          
          facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of                 
          independent claim 5, as well as claims 2-4 and 6-8 dependent                
          thereon, is not sustained.  Therefore, the decision of the Examiner         
          rejecting claims 2-8 is reversed.                                           

                                       REVERSED
