          Application No. 09/238,800                                                  

          speech.  Although appellants do not argue the teachings of                  
          Lyberg, or the combinability of Lyberg and Boucher, we find that            
          because Lyberg does not make up for the basic deficiencies of               
          Boucher, that the combined teachings of Boucher and Lyberg are              
          insufficient to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of              
          claim 8.  Accordingly, the rejection of claims 8, 17 and 26 under           
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
