                 Appeal No.  2001-1030                                                         Page 6                    
                 Application No.  09/159,334                                                                             

                                                    CONCLUSION                                                           
                        Because, when considered in light of the prior art as a whole, the                               
                 Examiner’s Answer failed to set forth a prima facie case of obviousness, the                            
                 rejection of claims 1-6 over the Backström reference is reversed.                                       


                                                     REVERSED
