          Appeal No. 2004-1224                                                        
          Application No. 09/532,379                                                  
               For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the Brief and            
          Reply Brief, we determine that the examiner has not established a           
          prima facie case of obviousness in view of the reference                    
          evidence.  Therefore the rejection of claims 1-23 under 35 U.S.C.           
          § 103(a) over Salvendy in view of Juran cannot be sustained.                
               C.  Summary                                                            
               The rejection of claims 1, 11, 14 and 15 under the second              
          paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 is reversed.                                   
               The rejection of claims 1-23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over             
          Salvendy in view of Juran is reversed.                                      
















                                          9
