                Application No. 10/157,644                                                                   

                                               CONCLUSION                                                    
                      Because the examiner failed to set forth a prima facie case of                         
                obviousness, the rejections of record are reversed.  In addition, upon return of             
                the application, the examiner should consider the patentability of the claims in             
                view of the Van de Ven reference, as discussed in the “Other Issues” section of              
                the opinion.
