Preliminary statement

A further preliminary statement to this section would be that, somewhat analogously to classical physics or mechanics where positions and momenta (or velocities) are the two conjugate variables that determine the motion, moduli and phases play similar roles. But the analogy is not perfect. Indeed, early on it was questioned, apparently first by Pauli [104], whether a wave function can be constructed from the knowledge of a set of moduli alone. It was then argued by Lamb [105] that from a set of values of wave function moduli and of their rates... 

In future a third new group will be required, according to another preliminary statement published quite recently by a team of Australian chemists, Messrs. Hughes, Lahey, Price and Webb. They have isolated six alkaloids from three rutaceous species of that country, five of which have been definitely shown to be acridine derivatives. This appears to be the fiipst-fruits of a survey of the type referred to above, which is being carried out on the Australian flora under the auspices of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and several of the Australian Universities. ... 

A report has appeared (46) which disputes a preliminary statement of ours (47) regarding the effect of diphenyl ether on the association state of polystyryllithium. This claim (46) was based on only two measurements. We will comment briefly on those measurements. (The authors of that report (46) refer to our work (47) as having been done by "the Akron team" and "the Akron group". No rational justification for the use of that peculiar terminology exists since the first two authors of the preprint in question (47j listed as their affiliation the University of Sheffield. A portion of the work reported in the foregoing preprint U7) has been published, ref. 2 of this paper). 

Finally, two comments made (46) in reference to our preliminary statement (47) Should be assessed ...

Planck, in 1912, postulated that the value of the entropy function for all pure substances in condensed states was zero at 0 K. This statement may be taken as a preliminary statement of the third law. The postulate of Planck is more extensive than, but certainly is consistent with, the postulate of Nernst. 

The three most important motivational factors identified in the quantitative results were novelty, escape/relax, and relationship. These factors showed no significant difference in their importance between the two levels of travel experience. Similarly, the interview results also suggested that these three factors, along with self-development, are the main psychological forces driving travel. A preliminary statement on the structure of travel motivation is possible here. There is a strong likelihood that people may have certain dominant and constant travel motivations that act as a common backbone to travel regardless of their travel experience level. In particular,... 

Patent Office Rule 222 provides for amendment of preliminary statements. However, this procedure is no substitute for careful preparation. One should not give up the search for earlier dates and records but should consider the Patent Office Board of Patent Interferences recent decision (12) denying a motion to amend because of no showing that a proper degree of effort and care was exercised in preparing the original statement. 

The testimony period follows the motion period. After testimony periods have been set, each party may inspect the preliminary statements of others. Testimony is presented by depositions which are statements sworn to under oath with right of cross-examination by adverse parties. The most junior party takes testimony first followed by more senior parties in order of their filing dates. If a junior party fails to take testimony, the senior party may ask for judgment on the record to end the interference on the basis the junior party did not overcome the presumption of first inventorship which favors the senior party (19). 

When filing a preliminary statement or taking depositions becomes necessary, carefully review records at the outset. An inventor will probably be required to live with dates originally asserted. As a horrible example, testimony proving early activity is excellent to prove a later date asserted in a preliminary statement, but it will not entitle an inventor to the earlier date. 

The various documents an inventor must sign when he files an application for a patent are explained. Included are the documents required by the Patent Office before an application is accepted and those which may be necessary during the subsequent prosecution of the application in the U. S. Patent Office. Among others, the oath, power of attorney, petition, preliminary statement, and affidavits are discussed specifically. 

Aparty who cannot prove an earlier filingdate may prefer that no one obtain a patent so he or she can practice the invention without restriction. See, e.g., Perkin v. Kwon, 886 F.2d 325 (Fed. Cir. 1989). Such a party (i.e., one who knows that priority cannot be proven) could also seek a favorable license (especially while the preliminary statements remain sealed) and thereby, at least to some degree, benefit from the protection offered by the other party s patent (ifgranted by the PTO). The other party may be willing to make concessions in the terms of such an agreement because it would effectively terminate the interference and eliminate the risk of losing the priority contest. 

Interpretation of these data must wait for a better understanding of the phenomena. But some preliminary statements may be made. It will be noted that the Weiss constant is not zero in the most dilute gels. This probably means that there must be a certain degree of interaction between adjacent chromium atoms, or, to put it another way, there must be a certain minimum value to the paramagnetic neighborhood, in order...

Note So far, we do not know if this extremal of g is a minimum (corresponding to a VF-GE) or a maximum, or an inflection point. With these preliminary statements, we can now give the definition of a gradient extremal [19].
