`
`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. 12/014,558, filed January 15, 2008 (Attorney Docket
`
`No. O80379—0001l0US) 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 U.S. 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
`
`Examiner.

`
`November 6, 2006, in related U.S. Patent Application No. 11/336,758. Copies of the Office
`
`Actions in U.S. Patent Application No. 11/336,758 are available on PAIR and are believed to be
`
`readily accessible to the Examiner.
`
`Some of the references cited in this IDS were cited in Office Actions mailed on
`
`July 19, 2005 and February 28, 2004, in related U.S. Patent Application No. 10/111,716. Copies
`
`of the Office Actions in U.S. Patent Application No. 10/111,716 are available on PAIR and are
`
`believed to be readily accessible to the Examiner.
`
`As provided for by 37 CFR §1.97(g) and (h), no inference should be made that the

`
`representation is being made that a search has been conducted or that this statement encompasses
`
`all the possible relevant information.
`
`Applicant believes that no fee is reguired for submission of this statement.
`

`REMARKS/ARGUMENTS
`
`This continuation application presents claims that are substantially similar
`
`in scope to claims originally presented in parent case 11/336,758, and in some cases
`
`presented again in parent case 12/014,558. While in many cases these claims were
`
`canceled or not elected in these parent cases, Applicants respectfully submit that the
`
`Examiner should be aware that claims presented herein may be similar to at least some of
`
`the claims prosecuted in the parent cases, and the Examiner might want to consider art
`
`cited in the parent for relevance. The art cited in these parent cases will be cited in an
`
`Information Disclosure Statement, but in order to comply with the duty of disclosure
`
`Applicants submit that the Examiner might also want to look to the Office Actions in the
`
`parent cases.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`If the Examiner believes a telephone conference would expedite
`
`prosecution of this application, please telephone the undersigned at 925-472-5000.
