Reasons for Allowance
Claims 1 and 4-10 are allowed.
The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: Previous office action, dated 8 April 2025, indicated claims 3-9 would be allowable if claim 3 was rewritten in independent form. The office action provided reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter. Applicant amended claim 1 to include the limitations of claim 3, so claim 1 is allowable for the same reasons.
