             Appeal No.2000-2244                                                                Page 4                
             Application No. 08/660,709                                                                               


                    The examiner fails to allege, let alone show, that the addition of Schlumberger                   
             cures the aforementioned deficiency of Johnston.  Absent a teaching or suggestion of                     
             generating signals representing at least two (different) types of electrical energy, the                 
             examiner fails to present a prima facie case of obviousness.  Therefore, we reverse the                  
             obviousness rejection of claim 23 and of claims 24-28, which depend therefrom.
