           Appeal No. 2001-0836                                                                      
           Application No. 08/991,448                                                                

           not established a prima facie case of obviousness.  Accordingly,                          
           the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of independent claim 9 and its                           
           dependent claims 11-14, as well as independent claim 23, is not                           
           sustained.                                                                                
                 In conclusion, we have not sustained the Examiner’s                                 
           35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal.                              
           Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 9,                               
           11-14, and 23 is reversed.                                                                

                                         REVERSED
