          Appeal No. 2004-1067                                                        
          Application No. 09/773,292                                                  


               Under the circumstances set forth above and in the answer,             
          it is our ultimate determination that the examiner has                      
          established a prima facie case of obviousness which the                     
          appellants have failed to successfully rebut with argument and/or           
          evidence of nonobviousness.  See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443,              
          1445, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1444 (Fed. Cir. 1992).  We shall sustain,             
          therefore, the examiner’s Section 103 rejection of claims 25-28             
          as being unpatentable over Luttringer.
