          Interference No. 104,158                                                    



          effective as of the date of publication, viz., March 16, 1999.              
          Accordingly, the review of the APJ’s decision on the                        
          preliminary motions has been decided in the following decision              
          without deference to the prior decision by the lone APJ.                    


          Patentability of Oldroyd claims 9-28                                        
                    Althaus has moved for judgment under 37 CFR §                     
          1.633(a) that claims 9 through 28 of Oldroyd are unpatentable               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  It is noted that the parties are in                 
          agreement that, under this motion for judgment, Oldroyd claims              
          10-28 will stand or fall with Oldroyd independent claim 9.                  
          See Oldroyd Brief at 29.                                                    
                    Althaus argues that these claims 9-28 are                         
          unpatentable over the combined teachings of the following
