          for allowance as indicated in the Notice of Allowability                    
          (Paper No. 15).                                                             
               5. On December 26, 1995 Application No. 08/174,693 issued              
          as U.S. Patent No. 5,478,234.                                               


               A review of the record in this application reveals the                 
          following facts:                                                            
               1. This application was filed pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.60                
          on June 6, 1995.                                                            
               2. This application claims that it is "a continuation of               
          patent application serial no. 08/174,693, filed December 27,                
          1993."                                                                      





               3. Appealed claims 39 and 52 include the recitation that               
          the sintering unit comprises a rotary kiln and thus are drawn               
          to the species shown in Figure 2.                                           


               From the above facts we conclude the following:
