`
`Commissioner:
`
`The references cited on attached form PTO/SB/08A and PTO/SB/08B are being
`
`called to the attention of the Examiner. In accordance with 37 CFR §1.98(d), copies of the
`
`references can be found in Application No. 12/014,55 8, filed January 15, 2008 (Attorney Docket
`
`No. 080379—000110US) and Application No. 11/336,758, filed January 19, 2006 (Attorney
`
`Docket No. 080379—000100US). It is respectfully requested that the cited references be
`
`expressly considered during the prosecution of this application, and the references be made of
`
`record therein and appear among the “references cited” on any patent to issue therefrom.
`
`Some of the references cited in this IDS were cited in an Office Action mailed on
`
`September 1, 2010 in related US Patent Application No. 12/014,558. Copies of the Office
`
`Actions in 12/014,558 are available on PAIR and are believed to be readily accessible to the
