no. 2 is denied with respect to the Burroughs et al. patent
claims 1 to 11 and reissue claims 13 to 16, 18 to 20, 22 to 30,
32, 33, 35 to 37, 39 to 49 and 51 and is granted with respect to
the Burroughs et al. reissue claims 17, 21, 31, 34, 38, and 50.

the next final hearing, since we do not normally enter a
piecemeal judgment with respect to a party.
