                 Application No. 09/260,796                                                                                                       


                 prima facie case of obviousness.  Therefore, we reverse the obviousness rejection of                                             
                 claim 10.                                                                                                                        


                                                               CONCLUSION                                                                         
                         In summary, the rejection of claims 1, 2, 9, 11, 13 and 15-17 under § 102(e) is                                          
                 reversed.  The rejection of claims 3-5, 7, and 10 under § 103(a) is also reversed.
