[R]eferences in a combination may be said to teach away where their combined teachings would produce a "seemingly inoperative device". See In re Sponnoble, 405 F.2d 578, 587 (CCPA 1969). Teaching an alternative or equivalent method, however, does not teach away from the  use of a claimed method. see In re Dunn, 349 F.2d 433, 438 (CCPA 1965).
