          Appeal No. 2001-2348                                                        
          Application 08/927,222                                                      


          of Nitta discussed above, the examiner’s rejection of claims 7,             
          12 and 14 fails to establish a prima facie case of obviousness.             
          In summary, we have not sustained either of the                             
          examiner’s rejections of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the              
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-15 is reversed.
