          Appeal No. 2003-2102                                       Page 10           
          Application No. 09/254,723                                                   


               From all of the above, we find that the examiner has failed             
          to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claim 1.                   
          Accordingly, the rejection of claim 1, and claims 2 and 3,                   
          dependent therefrom, is therefore reversed.                                  


                                      CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims             
          1-3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.                                    


                                       REVERSED
