                               Application 07/858,1711                                
                                    ____________                                      
                                      ON BRIEF                                        
                                    ____________                                      
          Before WINTERS, SCHAFER, and GRON, Administrative Patent Judges.            

           Application for patent filed March 27, 1992.  According1                                                                      
          to applicants, this application is a continuation-in-part of                
          Application 07/642,231, filed January 16, 1991; which is a                  
          continuation-in-part of Application 07/425,224, filed October 20,           
          1989, now U.S. 5,013,556, patented May 7, 1991, with a different            
          inventive entity.  It appears that the applicants’ references to            
          Application 07/642,231, filed January 16, 1991, and claim for               
          priority under 35 U.S.C. § 120, based on and stemming from said             
          application, are incorrect.  On the other hand, we note that                
          Application 07/642,321, filed January 15, 1991, issued as U.S.              
          5,213,804 on May 25, 1993, to the same inventive entity as U.S.             
          5,013,556, patented May 7, 1991, and that the portion of the term of        
          U.S. 5,213,804 subsequent to May 7, 2008, has been disclaimed.              
                                        - 1 -
