I/We hereby declare that:
Every error in the patent which was corrected in the present reissue application, and which is not covered by the
prior oath(s) and/or declaration(s) submitted in this application, arose without any deceptive intention on the part of
the applicant.

WARNING:

Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documents filed in a patent application
that may contribute to identity theft. Personal information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers,
or credit card numbers (other than a check or credit card authorization form PTO-2038 submitted for payment
purposes) is never required by the USPTO to support a petition or an application. If this type of personal information
is included in documents submitted to the USPTO, petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal
information from the documents before submitting them to the USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the
record of a patent application is available to the public after publication of the application (unless a non-publication
request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the application) or issuance of a patent. Furthermore, the
record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public if the application is referenced in a
published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization forms PTO-2038
submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are not publicly available.
I/We hereby declare that all statements made herein of my/our own knowledge are true and that all statements made
on information and belief are believed to be true; and further that these statements were made with the knowledge
that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C.
1001 and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the validity of the application or any patent issued
thereon.
