          Appeal No. 2003-0577                                                        
          Application No. 09/194,378                                                  

               Accordingly, it is our judgment that the examiner has not              
          made out a prima facie case of obviousness against any of the               
          appealed claims within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.  In re               
          Piasecki, 745 F.2d 1468, 1471-72, 223 USPQ 785, 787-88 (Fed.                
          Cir. 1984).                                                                 
               In summary, we reverse the examiner’s rejection under 35               
          U.S.C. § 103(a) of appealed claims 27 through 36 as unpatentable            
          over Cardinal in view of Brown or Weinberger.                               



























                                         10
