            Application No. 08/955,717                                                                        

            Because we reverse on this basis, we need not reach the issue of the sufficiency of               

            the showing of unexpected results.  In re Geiger, 815 F.2d 686, 688, 2 USPQ2d 1276,

                                                 DECISION                                                     
            The rejection of claims 1through 8 under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as being unpatentable

            The decision of the examiner is reversed.
