`
`Docket No.: 083710-2199
`
`REMARKS
`
`In response to the pending Office Action, Applicants have amended claim 1 to include the
`
`subject matter of claim 5, which wasindicated to be allowable, and the portions of claims 2 and 4
`
`necessary to support the subject matter of claim 5. Claims 4 and 5 have been cancelled. Claims2,
`
`3, 6-9, 14, 15 and 18 have been amended to reflect the amendmentto claim 1. In addition, new
`
`claim 19 has been added. Support for new claim 19 can be found, for example, in claim 1. No new
`
`matter has been added.
`
`It is noted that the subject matter deleted from claim 1 in the foregoing amendment was
`
`previously addedin an effort to distinguish over the cited prior art. However, as the rejection of the
`
`claim was maintained, and claim 5 wasindicated to recite patentable subject matter prior to the
`
`amendment,it is clear that the deleted language does not impact the allowability of amended claim
`
`1.
`
`Accordingly, as claim 1 has been amendedto include the subject matter of claim 5, which
`
`wasindicated to be allowable,it is respectfully submitted that claim 1, as amended, and the claims
`
`dependentthereon, are now in condition for allowance.
`
`Further, as claim 1 is allowable,it is respectfully requested that withdrawn claims 9, 10 and
`
`11 be rejoined, as each of claims 9, 10 and 11 depend directly on claim 1, and therefore it is clear
`
`that claim 1 is generic to claims 9, 10 and 11.
`
`Having fully and completely respondedto all open issues set forth in the Office Action,it is
`
`respectfully submitted that the application is now in condition for allowance, an indication of which
`
`is respectfully requested.

`Please charge any shortage in fees due in connection with the filing of this paper, including
