`
`
`Supplemental Declaration of Dr. Mark Ehsani
`I, Dr. Mark Ehsani, hereby declare under penalty of perjury:
`
`
`1)
`
`4)
`
`I am a Professor of electrical engineering and the founding Director of
`Advanced Vehicle Systems Research Program and the Power Electronics
`and Motor Drives Laboratory at Texas A&M University. I have extensive
`knowledge and qualifications within the relevant field of the 6,064,970
`patent.
`2) Vehicle telematics includes the acquisition of automotive onboard vehicle
`data and its processing. My qualifications in this area are provided below.
`3) My current research work is in power electronics, motor drives, vehicle
`electronics, and hybrid vehicles and their control systems.
`I was selected for the IEEE Vehicular Society 2001 Avant Garde Award
`for “Contributions to the theory and design of hybrid electric vehicles.” In
`2004, I was elected to the Robert M. Kennedy endowed Chair in Electrical
`Engineering at Texas A&M University.
`In 2005, I was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers
`(SAE).
`I am a Fellow of IEEE, an IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and
`Vehicular Technology Society Distinguished Speaker, and an IEEE
`Industry Applications Society and Power Engineering Society
`Distinguished Lecturer. I am also a registered professional engineer in the
`State of Texas.
`In my vehicle-related work, I have extensively performed real-time vehicle
`data acquisition, logging, and analysis for driver-specific drive cycle
`analysis. Some of my work in this area is reflected in my books and
`research publications, including, for example, the following:
