                              JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO 37 CFR § 1.662                                      
                  Rice has filed a paper entitled "RICE COMMUNICATION" (Paper                          
            40).  Rice states that it "hereby expressly abandons Application                           
            No. 08/218,697 and thereby requests an adverse judgment in the                             
            above-captioned interference."  The Rice communication is                                  
            treated as an express abandonment of the Rice involved                                     
            application under
