          Appeal No. 1999-2040                                                        
          Application No. 08/475,023                                Page 24           

          In addition, as per our findings, supra, Oshikoshi does not make            
          up for the deficiencies of Spaulding.  In sum, we find that the             
          examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of                      
          obviousness of independent claim 8.  Accordingly, the rejection             
          of claim 8, and claims 11-13, dependent therefrom, under 35                 
          U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
