Accordingly, pursuant to the order of September 16, 1998, judgment as to the
subject matter of the count in issue is awarded to Bernard J. Armitage and Paul F. Coe,
the senior party. On the present record, Maminaran et al., the junior party, are not
entitled to a patent containing claims 1 to 6 and 8 to 16 corresponding to the count and
Armitage et al., the senior party, are entitled to a patent containing claims 29 to 33
