`
`Amendments to the Specification
`
`The specification is amended herein to correct an error in the priority claim. In particular,
`
`the priority claim l1as been corrected to indicate that the U.S. Application No. 14/529,978 is a
`
`continuation-in-part (rather than a continuation) of U.S. Application No. 14/027,410. The same
`
`correction is included in the Corrected Application Data Sheet (ADS) filed herewith. MPEP
`
`§ 211.03 states that no petition or surcharge is required for correcting a timely submitted benefit
`
`claim to correct the indicated relationship between applications from "continuation" to
`
`"continuation-in-part." Accordingly, entry of the correction and issuance of an updated Filing
`
`Receipt are respectfully requested.
`
`In addition, for the Examiner's benefit, it is noted that a Petition to Accept an
`Unintentionally Delayed Priority Claim Under 35 U.S.C. § 120 was filed in U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,364,129 ("the '129 patent") on September 21, 2015. The present application claims priority to
`
`the' 129 patent, and claims priority through the' 129 patent to other issued patents identified in
`
`the Petition. A copy of the Petition is filed herewith, for the Examiner's reference.

`contains or contained a claim having an effective filing date on or after March 16, 2013.
