SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on December 2, 2005, based on a complaint filed by SAS Praxim (``SAS'') 
of La Tronche, France, and Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (``Varian'') of 
Palo Alto, California. The complaint, as supplemented, alleged 
violations of section 337 by Resonant Medical, Inc. (``Resonant'') of 
Montreal, Canada, in the importation into the United States, the sale 
for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain devices for determining organ positions and 
certain subassemblies thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1, 2, 
5, and 10 of U.S. Patent No. 5,447,154. 70 FR 72314 (2005).
    On February 16, 2006, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 5) granting a 
motion to intervene as a complainant filed by non-party 
Universit[eacute] Joseph Fourier (Grenoble) (``UJF'') of Grenoble, 
France. That ID was not reviewed by the Commission.
    On April 10, 2006, the three complainants and sole respondent 
Resonant jointly moved to terminate the investigation in its entirety 
on the basis of a settlement agreement. On April 20, 2006, the 
Commission investigative attorney filed a response supporting the joint 
motion. On April 25, 2006, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 12) granting 
the joint motion to terminate.
    No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: May 15, 2006.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
