                  Application No. 08/689,400                                                                                                              


                  above, these limitations would not have been obvious in view of the combined                                                            
                  teachings of Nicholas and Meador, and therefore a prima facie case of obviousness is                                                    
                  lacking with regard to claims 12 and 17 and we will not sustain their rejections.
