          Appeal No. 1999-1349                                                        
          Application No. 08/110,115                                 Page 7           


          components A along with other additives including dispersing                
          agents and other auxiliaries.  See column 4 of Bargigia.                    
               Like appellants, we fail to see how the disparate teachings            
          of Bargigia is combinable with Seney in any manner, let alone in            
          a manner that would result in appellants’ composition.  Nor has             
          the examiner fairly established that Bargigia alone would have              
          suggested appellants’ composition or methods of using same.                 
          While Bargigia may refer to some fluorinated propellants and                
          refer to the possible use of a variety of dispersing aids such as           
          water and organic solvents, including alcohols, the examiner has            
          not convincingly explained how the referenced passages in columns           
          2 and 4 of Bargigia would have suggested a composition with the             
          specified amounts of ethyl alcohol and amounts of specified hydro           
          fluorocarbons as here claimed.                                              
               Similarly, the examiner has not established how the other              
          applied references would make up for the deficiencies of the                
          teachings of Seney and Bargigia with respect to the here claimed            
          subject matter.  Consequently, for the reasons set forth above              
          and in appellants’ briefs, we will not sustain any of the                   
          examiner’s § 103 rejections.                                                
                                     CONCLUSION
