`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 respectfillly 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.

`

`expressly considered during the prosecution of this application, and the references be made of
