`
`
`
`Remarks
`
`In the Notice of Allowance, claims 1-5, 7-12, 14-18, 60, 62-74 and 76 were
`allowed.
`In the amendments presented above, independent Claim 18 has been
`amended to specify that
`the exercise monitoring system further
`includes a
`physiological monitor, and that the display system simultaneously displays data
`provided by the electronic positioning device and the physiological monitor. Support
`for the addition of a physiological monitor can be found throughout the specification
`as originally filed (e.g., claim 1 as originally filed). Support for the amendment
`concerning the simultaneous display of data from the electronic positioning device
`and the physiological monitor can be found, for example, at page 40, lines 7-16, at
`page 24, lines 1-8, and at Fig. 19 of the specification as originallyfiled.
`
`Newly added claim 77 depends from claim 18, and further specifies that the
`physiological monitor comprises a heart rate monitor configured to be worn about a
`subject's chest and to wirelessly transmit data indicative of a subject's heart rate to
`the display unit. Support for this new claim can be found, for example, at Fig. 15,
`and at page 28, line 22, through page 29, line 20, of the specification as originally
`
`filed.
`
`The above claim amendments are presented in order to further distinguish
`these claims from the prior art and to facilitate enforcement of the same. Applicants
`recently learned that a third party has introduced a product believed to infringe one
`or more of the previously-allowed claims. The proposed amendments do not require
`an additional search or examination, since previously-allowed claim 18 is merely
`being narrowed in scope and newly-added claim 77 depends from previously-
`allowed claim 18 (and is therefore narrowerthan previously-allowed claim 18).
`
`For the reasons stated above, applicants request that the Examiner enter the
`
`amendments presented herein.
