          our view that the examiner has not discharged the burden of                 
          establishing a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to              
          the subject matter defined by the appealed claims.                          
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 2-4, 8-11 and            
          14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Thigpen in              
          view of Berner is reversed.
