Dear Neha and All,

Thanks for the feedback. I am adding the same in the draft. I have 
received more suggestions on this from Dr. Raiomond Doctor and Prof. Uma 
Maheshwar Rao about the descriptive text to be modified. I am doing 
those changes in the draft.

@All, as already requested by Neha, we solicit your detailed feedback on 
the document so that there are no mistakes in the version that will go 
to IP.

Regards,
Akshat Joshi
