          Appeal No. 2005-0314                                                        
          Application No. 10/158,717                                                  

               On the record of this appeal, no such proof has been proffered         
          by the Appellants.  Therefore, the Examiner has established a               
          prima facie case of unpatentability which the Appellants have               
          failed to successfully rebut with argument or evidence of                   
          patentability.  We hereby sustain, therefore, the Examiner’s § 103          
          rejection of all appealed claims as being unpatentable over Phan.           
          See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1444                
          (Fed. Cir. 1992).                                                           
               The decision of the Examiner is affirmed.
