          (Visser’s Preliminary Motion 1 (Paper No. 17)), because none of             
          Visser’s claims designated as corresponding to Count 1 are                  
          directed to the same patentable invention as any of Hofvander’s             
          claims designated as corresponding to Count 1 (Paper No. 17,                
          p. 2, para. 2)(GRANTED);                                                    
               We deny Visser’s Preliminary Motion No. 2 under 37 CFR                 
          § 1.633(a) for judgment that Claims 1, 4, and 6 to 23 of                    
          Hofvander’s involved application, filed November 24, 1993,                  
          designated as corresponding to the count, are unpatentable under            
          35 U.S.C. § 102 over Hergersberg (VDX 1), and/or under 35 U.S.C.            
          § 103 in view of the combined teachings of Hergersberg and van              
          der Leij (VDX 3)(Paper No. 18)(DENIED);                                     
               Visser’s Preliminary Motion No. 3 under 37 CFR § 1.633(a)              
          for judgment that Hofvander’s Claims 1, 4, 6-20, and 22 are                 
          unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph (Paper                  
          No. 19) stands dismissed (DISMISSED);                                       
               We dismiss Visser’s contingent Preliminary Motion 4 under              
          37 CFR § 1.633(a) for judgment that Hofvander’s Claims 1, 4,                
          and 6-23 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102 over Visser’s               
          1991 publication (VDX 8)(Visser’s Preliminary Motion No. 4 (Paper           
          No. 20)) as contingent on denial of Visser’s Preliminary Motion             
          No. 1 (Paper No. 17))(DISMISSED).
