Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Documents cited under Art. 54(3) should be disregarded in the evaluation of unity of invention since they cannot anticipate the inventive concept of the application under examination.
