                 Application No.  08/460,622                                                                          
                        Having determined that the examiner has not established a prima facie                         
                 case of obviousness, we find it unnecessary to discuss the Declarations and                          
                 evidence of non-obviousness, relied on by appellants to rebut any such prima                         
                 facie case.
