          Appeal No. 2001-2101                                                         
          Application No. 09/111,495                                                   


               In view of the above discussion, since the Examiner has not             
          established a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 103(a) rejection of independent claims 1, 14, and 20, as well              
          as claims 2-6, 8-13, 15-19, and 21-24 dependent thereon, is not              
          sustained.                                                                   
               In summary, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal.  Accordingly,             
          the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-6 and 8-24 is                
          reversed.
