COHEN, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
1Application for patent filed February 7, 1994. According to appell-
ants, this application is a division of application Serial No. 07/987,186,
filed December 8, 1992.
2 This panel of the board acknowledges appellants’ request for an oral
hearing dated August 12, 1996. However, in accordance with 37 CFR 1.196(c),
as amended effective December 1, 1997, we consider a hearing in this case to
be unnecessary in light of the hearing that took place on June 11, 1998 in a
related appeal in parent application 08/987,186 (Appeal No. 96-1651); this
parent application being discussed by appellants on page 5 of the main brief
(Paper No. 19). This appeal, therefore, will be decided on brief.
