The 20 year life span of a patent (and all continuations) are based on the earliest date the patent claims benefit. In the case of patent you reference that date is Jun. 20, 1995. Sometimes a few months (only) are added due to administrative delays. The patent you referenced has expired. ANYONE who understand patent basics understands this.
