`is herein amended to

`
`Drawings
`
`Applicant notes that while the Office Action Summary (PTOL-326) indicates that the
`
`drawingsfiled on 9/20/2019 are objected to, the Office Action at page 2 states that the drawings
`
`are acceptable for examination purposes. Applicant believes that there is currently no specific
`
`issue to be addressed with respect to the drawingsin light of the Office Action.
`
`Applicant’s Response to the Claim Rejections under 35 U.S.C.§112
`
`Claim 5 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph’, as being indefinite for
`
`failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which applicant
`
`regards as the invention.
`
`At page 2 of the Office Action, the rejection notes that the range of claim 5 is indefinite.
`
`Applicant has amended claim 5 to further clarify the range as set forth above.
`
`In light thereof,
`
`' Since the application is being examiner under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA,it is understood
`that the corresponding section §112(b) of the AIA law may apply instead.
