`1. The present application is being examined under the pre-AIA first to invent
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provisions.
`
`
`
`
`
`2. It would be of great assistance to the office if all incoming papers pertaining to a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`filed application carried the following items:
`
`
`
`i. Application number (checked for accuracy, including series code and
`
`
`
`ii.Group art unit number (copied from most recent Office communication).
`
`
`
`
`
`serial no.).
`
`iii.Filing date.
`
`
`
`
`v. Title of invention.
`vi.Confirmation number (See MPEP § 503).
`
`
`
`
`iv.Name of the examiner who prepared the most recent Office action.

`
`
`3. An examiner's amendment to the record appears below. Should the changes
`
`
`
`Examiner's Amendment
`
`
`
`and/or additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment may be filed as provided
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`by 37 CFR 1.312. To ensure consideration of such an amendment, it MUST be
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee. Authorization for this examiner's

`
`
`
`the claims in light of the specification and based on applicant's argument filed on
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`02/12/2016 examiner finds the claimed invention is patentably distinct from the prior art
`
`

`
`
`
`of record. The prior art does not expressly teach or render obvious the invention as
`
`
`

`
`
`recited in the independent claims.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably
`

`
`
`
`
`accompany the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled "Comments on
