                 Application No. 09/671,188                                                                                                        

                 and 26).                                                                                                                          
                         We conclude that the examiner has not established a prima facie case of                                                   
                 obviousness of claims 1 through 6, 8 through 10, 15 through 17, 20, and 22 through 42.                                            
                 Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting those claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is
