          Appeal No. 2001-0224                                                        
          Application 09/045,511                                                      


          combination of Lee, Clayton and Vizurraga.  Accordingly, we                 
          conclude that the examiner has failed to establish a prima facie            
          case of obviousness and the rejections are reversed.
