               Application No. 09/192,110                                                                                             


                                                           CONCLUSION                                                                 
                       For the  above reasons we conclude that the Examiner has not carried the burden of                             
               establishing a prima facie case of obviousness of the invention recited in any of the                                  
               Appellants’ claims.  Consequently, we reverse the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections.
