Interference No. 103,446 to Dzikowski, a technician working for Sanns, for testing, including distinctness of image testing using a "glow box" (SX7). Dzikowski recorded the formulations of the plaques based on the information he received from Marsh (SX7). Dzikowski performed "glow box" tests on the plaques and compared them to steel panels similarly painted and found the plaques prepared by Marsh possessed extraordinary distinctness of image (DOI) (SX7, ¶'s 9, 10 and 15). In a report to Sanns (SX 8), Dzikowski noted the results he obtained and expressed his opinion that the plaques gave the best DOI results he had ever seen. Dzikowski strongly recommended to Sanns that he follow up on the plaques as prepared. Both Dr. Taylor and Sanns received Dzikowski's report (SR514, 515; SX20). Subsequently, in March 1986, Marsh prepared a another set of plaques from a polyurethane and/or polyurea filled with mica from the J.M. Huber corporation and recorded the materials used to prepare the plaques in his notebook (SX13). In May 1986, Dzikowski performed paintability tests on the plaques prepared by Marsh in March, including DOI measurements using a "glow box" (SX7, ¶22, SX11, SX12). The second set of plaques also yielded a DOI within 10 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
