`"b) a monolithic body of injection molded thermoplastic material"
`20160808_085341.jpg
`
`“PPS – GF 30” refers to polyphenylene sulfide with 30% glass fiber filler (“PPS-GF30”). See, e.g., U.S. Patent Publication
`2009/0173903 (application No. 12/295,565), at ¶ 0114 (“The abbreviations of the resin names in the tables above are as
`follows. PPS-GF30: Polyphenylene sulfide resin containing 30 wt % of glass fibers”).
`
`PPS – GF 30 is a thermoplastic – the excerpt pictured below is a summary of its properties (including the categories of which
`it is a member, which includes “thermoplastic”) from the MatWeb database of material property data.

`
`https://plastics.ulprospector.com/generics/41/polyphenylene-sulfide-pps (accessed Dec. 15, 2016).
`
`The monolithically formed body of the motor of the Aisin Pump contains markings that indicate it as manufactured using
`injection molding. For example, as shown in the images below, the monolithically formed body of the Aisin Pump shows
`signs of gates and knockout pins, such markings being associated only with injection molded manufacturing.

`
`c) a non-linear heat transfer
`fluid pathway in the
`monolithic body, with at
`least one fluid inlet and at
`least one fluid outlet to said
`pathway to allow for
`passage of heat transfer
`fluid through the pathway,
`
`The Aisin Pump comprises a non-linear heat transfer fluid pathway in the monolithic body, with at least one fluid inlet and at
`least one fluid outlet to said pathway to allow for passage of heat transfer fluid through the pathway.
`
`As shown below, the Aisin Pump comprises a curved heat transfer fluid pathway in the monolithic body described above.
`This pathway contains at least one fluid inlet and at least one fluid outlet for heat transfer fluid. The fluid inlet allows heat
`transfer fluid (water) to enter the fluid pathway and the fluid outlet allows the fluid to exit the pathway, thereby allowing
`passage of heat transfer fluid through the pathway.
