`Discussed the rejection of claim 1 and how Applicant's Representative believes Nashizawa does not teach the

`
`Discussed claim language of claim 1 and how the examiner believes it is not distinguishable over the
`Nashizawa reference.
`
`Discussed paragraphs 0028—0029 and figures 2A—ZB of the Specification of the Instant Application to further
`explained the limitations of claim 1.
`
`Discussed possible amendments for claim 1, including further defining the exposure value (i.e. related to a
