          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
