`
`REMARKS
`
`Uponentry of the present paper, claims 1, 3 and 4 will have been amended. Claims 2 and
`
`10 will have been canceled without
`
`prejudice
`
`or disclaimer of the
`
`subject
`
`matter thereof. Thus,
`
`claims 1, 3-9 and 11-13 are
`
`pendingin
`
`the present application.
`
`The present amendmentis submitted to make sure that the
`
`pending
`
`claims
`
`sufficiently
`
`correspondto the allowable claims of the
`
`Patent
`
`Japan

`
`make certain
`
`language
`
`clarifying,
`
`non-substantive amendmentsto
`
`the claims in better
`
`place
`
`compliance
`
`with traditional
`
`U.S. claim
`
`drafting principles,
`
`such as, for
`
`example,
`
`amendmentsto correct antecedentbasis
`
`issues, eliminate
`
`ambiguities,
`
`and
`
`improve grammar. Multiple dependency
`
`in the allowable
`
`claims in the
`
`Patent
`
`Japan
`
`Application
`
`was eliminated from the claims uponfiling
`
`of the present
`
`application
`
`on
`
`May 26, 2021. Thus, the claims,
`
`as
`
`amended, sufficiently correspond
`
`to the
`
`allowable claims in the
`
`Patent
`
`Japan

`Application,

`
`Highway (PPH) program.
`
`Accordingly,
`
`the amendments to the claims which have been madein this paper, which
`
`have not been
`
`specifically
`
`noted to overcomea
`
`rejection
`
`based uponthe
`
`prior art, should be
`
`considered to have been made for a
`
`purpose unrelated to
`
`patentability,
`
`and no
`
`estoppel
`
`should be
`
`deemed to attach thereto.
`
`While no additional fees are believed to have been incurred,
`
`in the event that any
`
`additional fees are due with respect
`
`to this paper, the Commissioner is
`
`hereby
`
`authorized to
`
`charge
`
`such fees to
