          12 and 13 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected                
          base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent              
          form to include all of the limitations of the base claim and                
          any intervening claims.  (Paper 8 at 5).                                    
               4.   Claims 7 and 9 are objected to due to certain                     
          informalities.  (Answer at 3).
