               The preliminary statements are now open on the record and

          applications including Serial Number 07/786,572 filed November              
          1, 1991.  Tsuruta states in its preliminary statement that it

          preliminary motion to be accorded the benefit of the filing                 
          date of these applications.  The filing date of the Tsuruta                 
          patent is May 14, 1993.
