              Appeal No. 2001-1000                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/835,404                                                                                  


              find that the examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness of the                         
              claimed invention, and appellant has shown error therein.  Therefore, we will not sustain                   
              the rejection of independent claim 1 and its dependent claims 2-9 and 13-18 under 35                        
              U.S.C. § 103(a).  Similarly, we will not sustain the rejection of independent claim 19 and                  
              its dependent claims 20-22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  Moreover, we find that the                            
              teachings of Radigan do not remedy the deficiency in the base combination, and we will                      
              not sustain the rejection of dependent claims 10-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                               
























                                                            8
