          Appeal No. 2005-1710                                                         
          Application No. 10/057,474                                                   

          paragraph).  However, as noted by appellants, the sections of                
          Kingsley cited by the examiner utterly fail to provide any                   
          teaching of improved heat aging.                                             
               In conclusion, it is our judgment that the evidence of                  
          nonobviousness presented by appellants outweighs the evidence of             
          obviousness relied upon by the examiner.  Accordingly, the                   
          examiner's decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.               
                                       REVERSED
