          Before:  GRON, Administrative Patent Judge,                                 
               SPIEGEL, Administrative Patent Judge, and                              
               NAGUMO, Administrative Patent Judge                                    
          GRON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                          
                               FINAL HEARING AND ORDER                                
          1.  Summary                                                                 
               We grant Fischhoff’s uncontested Preliminary Motion 10 to              
          amend Count 2 both with respect to Claims 41-43 of Fischhoff’s              
          involved U.S. Application 08/434,105, filed May 3, 1995, and with           
          respect to Claims 13-14 of Adang’s U.S. Patent 5,380,831 (FX 11).           
          Count 2 is ordered amended to exclude Claims 41-43 of Fischhoff’s           
          involved U.S. Application 08/434,105 and Claims 13-14 of Adang’s            
          U.S. Patent 5,380,831 (FX 11).  Claims 41-43 of Fischhoff’s                 
          involved U.S. Application 08/434,105 and Claims 13-14 of Adang’s            
          U.S. Patent 5,380,831 (FX 11) are designated as not corresponding           
          to amended Count 2.                                                         
               With respect to priority of the invention of amended                   
          Count 2, the preponderance of evidence of record establishes:               
               A.  Senior Party Adang first reduced the invention of                  
          amended Count 2 to practice constructively on September 9, 1988,            
          the filing date of Adang’s grandparent U.S. Application                     
          07/242,482, now abandoned;                                                  
               B.  Junior Party Fischhoff actually reduced the invention of           
          amended Count 2 to practice prior to September 9, 1988;                     

                                         -2-
