`I, Schuyler Quackenbush, hereby declare under penalty of perjury:
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`I have been retained to provide assistance regarding U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,532,641 (“‘641 patent”). Attached hereto as Appendix A is a true and correct copy
`
`of my Curriculum Vitae describing my background and experience. I have personal
`
`knowledge of the facts and opinions set forth in this declaration, and, if called upon to
`
`do so, I would testify competently thereto.
`
`2.
`
`I received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in
`
`1975, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of
`
`Technology in 1980 and 1985, respectively. While at the Georgia Institute of
`
`Technology, I concentrated my research on signal processing, including both speech
`
`and image processing. In my thesis I explored the factors that determine the perceived
`
`quality of a processed speech signal, such as speech signals from a mobile telephone
`
`system. My thesis was titled “Objective Measures of Speech Quality” and the thesis
`
`research was on computer algorithms that could predict perceived speech quality.
`
`3.
`
`Between 1975 and 1978, I worked for Loral Electronics in Yonkers, NY,
`
`where I was employed as a test engineer. Loral Electronics produced airborne
`
`electronics systems for the U.S. Air Force. My responsibilities in this position included:
`
`assisting the lead engineer in setting up test equipment; assembling custom test
`
`equipment; and using this equipment to test items from the production line.
`
`
`
`-1-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 6
`
`
`
`4.
`
`From 1978 to 1979, I worked for Diagnostic/Retrieval Systems (DRS),
`
`Inc. in Oakdale, NJ, where I was a hardware design engineer. DRS produced
`
`electronic sonar systems for the U.S. Navy. My responsibilities in this position
`
`included: design of an analog to digital signal acquisition sub-system; design of a
`
`digital heterodyne sub-system; and assisting in test and debugging of the complete
`
`prototype system.
`
`5.
`
`Between 1986 and 2002, I worked for AT&T Bell Labs in Murray Hill
`
`where I was Member of Technical Staff in the Signal Processing Research
`
`Department, and subsequently at AT&T Labs in Florham Park, NJ, where I was
`
`Principal Technical Staff and then Acting Supervisor of the Speech and Audio Coding
`
`Group. During the time period from 1986 to 2000 I: developed and implemented a
`
`speech coding algorithm; developed and implemented several audio coding algorithms;
`
`developed and implemented an image and audio decoding algorithm (for use as a
`
`“talking mail-order catalog”) and worked on a large team that built a working Digital
`
`Audio Broadcast system using AT&T’s Perceptual Audio Coding (PAC) technology. I
`
`was the lead expert in the effort to promote AT&T’s PAC technology in the ISO
`
`MPEG standards group. This effort resulted in the MPEG Advanced Audio Coding
`
`standard, which contained more than 80 percent of AT&T’s PAC technology. I
`
`developed a client/server music player using the AT&T audio technology. This used
`
`an OpenGL graphical user
`
`interface and UNIX socket-based client/server
`
`communication. I worked on a team that developed a second generation of this
`
`
`
`-2-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 7
`
`
`
`player that was also a client/server architecture, but used User Datagram Protocol
`
`(UDP) Internet protocol for streaming from server to client, and had a browser-based
`
`user interface written in HTML. As Acting Supervisor of the Speech and Audio
`
`Coding Group, I was responsible for supervising the work of several Principal
`
`Technical Staff Members and directing the work of the junior technical staff members.
`
`6.
`
`Since 2002, I have been the Founder and President of Audio Research
`
`Labs, LLC (ARL) in Scotch Plains, NJ. My responsibilities at ARL are to set business
`
`objectives, develop new business, design and develop products and deliver consulting
`
`services. ARL products include: the Subjective Training and Evaluation Program
`
`(STEP), which facilitates the subjective assessment of speech and audio quality; and
`
`ARL Sound Stage, which is an audio workstation plugin that aids a sound engineer in
`
`mixing 5.1 channel audio programs. ARL services include: engineering consulting in
`
`the area of speech and audio signal processing, including algorithm development and
`
`real-time implementations; subjective speech and audio quality assessment services;
`
`advice on standardization activities, including advice on promising algorithms for
`
`possible standardization; and consulting on patent portfolio valuation and patent
`
`litigation expert witness services.
`
`7.
`
`From 2006 to 2009, I was the Founder and VP of Audio Technology for
`
`Lightspeed Audio Labs, Inc., located in Tinton Falls, NJ. During this time I remained
`
`President of ARL, but the majority of my time was spent on Lightspeed Audio Labs
`
`work. Lightspeed Audio Labs created an Internet-based system that permitted users
`
`
`
`-3-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 8
`
`
`
`in different physical locations to interactively collaborate on-line to make music as if
`
`they were in the same recording venue. My responsibilities at Lightspeed Audio Labs
`
`included the design, creation and operation of: a high-quality digital audio
`
`encoder/decoder; a client/server framework for audio signal streaming, recording,
`
`mixing and playback; and a server database system to manage user accounts and user
`
`created music. The streaming audio data used the UDP Internet protocol to assure
`
`robust real-time performance. The client user interface was a conventional web
`
`browser that communicated with an Apache server using HTTP Internet protocol.
`
`Web pages were coded with the HTML and PHP languages and used a MSQL
`
`database.
`
`8.
`
`I began participating in the International Standards Organization (ISO)
`
`standard setting body in 1995 to promote Perceptual Audio Coding technology on
`
`behalf of AT&T. This effort ultimately resulted in the Advanced Audio Coding
`
`standard (AAC), which was published in 1997.
`
`9.
`
`The ISO group dealing with standards for digital media compression is
`
`the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1), Subcommittee 29 (SC 29), Working Group
`
`11 (WG 11). This group is designated as ISO JTC 1 SC 29 WG 11. WG 11 is also
`
`referred to as the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG).
`
`10.
`
`Since 1998, I have served as Chair of the MPEG Audio Subgroup
`
`(subgroup of WG 11 or MPEG). This role is voluntary and I receive no monetary
`
`remuneration. The Audio Subgroup consists of more than 50 audio experts from
`
`
`
`-4-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 9
`
`
`
`companies located around the world. As subgroup Chair, I am responsible for
`
`recommending areas for possible standardization, delegating tasks to and managing
`
`task completion by the group, forging consensus on group decisions and reporting on
`
`the group’s work to the MPEG plenary. During my tenure, the group has created and
`
`standardized many technologies including: High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding
`
`(HE-AAC), Enhanced Low Delay Advanced Audio Coding (AAC-ELD), MPEG
`
`Surround, Spatial Audio Object Coding (SAOC), and Unified Speech and Audio
`
`Coding (USAC).
`
`11.
`
`I am an inventor on 23 issued U.S. patents. These patents cover a range
`
`of technologies, including audio coding, text-to-speech synthesis systems and audio
`
`watermarking systems.
`
`12.
`
`I have authored many peer-reviewed technical articles, including
`
`publications
`
`in Journal of
`
`the AES, IEEE Multimedia Magazine, IEEE
`
`Communication Magazine, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, and
`
`Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing. The
`
`topics of those articles have included speech quality assessment, speech coding
`
`algorithms, audio coding algorithms and image coding algorithms.
`
`13.
`
`I have been active in my professional organizations. I have been a
`
`member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) for more than 20 years and became
`
`a Fellow of AES in 2006. I have routinely attended AES conventions and
`
`
`
`-5-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 10
`
`
`
`conferences and have been co-chair of the AES Technical Committee on Coding of
`
`Audio Signals since 2009. I have authored over 15 conference papers for the AES.
`
`14.
`
`I have been a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
`
`Engineers (IEEE) for more than 30 years and have been a Senior Member for more
`
`than 15 years. Within the IEEE there are many specialist societies, and I am a
`
`member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. I have attended many IEEE
`
`conferences, including the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal
`
`Processing (ICASSP) and the Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to
`
`Audio and Acoustics. I have authored more than 15 IEEE journal or conference
`
`publications.
`
`15.
`
`I have authored one book, entitled Objective Measures of Speech
`
`Quality, and several book chapters, including MPEG Audio Compression Advances,
`
`MPEG Audio Compression Future, and MPEG Video/Audio Quality Evaluation
`
`chapters of The MPEG Book, and the Digital Audio Compression Technologies
`
`chapter of National Association of Broadcasters Engineering Handbook, 10th Edition.
`
`The topics of my book and the chapters that I wrote include subjects such as:
`
`methods for assessment of speech and audio quality; description of audio coding
`
`technologies, including Dolby AC-3; MPEG-1 Layer I, II and III; MPEG-2 Advanced
`
`Audio Coding; MPEG-4 High Efficiency Audio Coding and MPEG Surround audio
`
`coding.

`
`I am being compensated for my time spent in connection with this case
`
`at a rate of $350 /hr. I have no financial interest in the outcome of this case.

`
`II. OPINIONS REGARDING A PERSON OF
`ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`
`19.
`
`I understand that the factors considered in determining the ordinary
`
`level of skill in a field of art include the level of education and experience of persons
`
`working in the field; the types of problems encountered in the field; and the
`
`sophistication of the technology. I understand that a person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art is not a specific real individual, but rather is a hypothetical individual having the
`
`qualities reflected by the factors above. I understand that a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art would also have knowledge from the teachings of the art cited below.
`
`20.
`
`In my opinion, the field of art pertinent to the ‘641 patent includes
`
`digitally stored content and delivery systems and methods for such content (see ‘641
`
`Patent (Ex. 1001) at 1:19-24 (“Field of the Disclosure”)), and a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art relating to the technology of the ‘641 patent at the time at which the
`
`earliest patent application to which the ‘641 patent claims priority was filed (March 28,
`
`2000) would have had a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer
`
`Science, or an equivalent field, and approximately 1-2 years of experience in working
`
`with client/server architectures, Internet transmission protocols, wireless transmission
`
`protocols, Internet browser programming, and streaming media transmission.
`
`
`
`-8-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 13
`
`
`
`21.
`
`In 2000, I would have exceeded the level of skill required by the above
`
`definition, and I am in a position to opine on the understanding of a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art as of that date.
`
`III. THE ‘641 PATENT
`A. Overview of the ‘641 Patent
`
`22. The ‘641 patent discusses a “System and method for managing media.”
`
`The supposed invention of the ‘641 patent is described as allowing users to select
`
`multimedia content that is available on the Internet, such as “on-line radio stations,
`
`on-line broadcasts, [or] streaming audio” and deliver that content to a PC or portable
`
`audio player. Ex. 1001 at 3:57-4:1. According to the ‘641 patent, available audio
`
`content may be accessed via links in a Web browser. See, e.g., id. at 8:22-25, 11:3-14.
`
`Audio content may be transmitted to an electronic device via high-speed
`
`communication until enough information has been communicated and buffered into a
`
`memory. Upon communication of a certain percentage of the selected audio
`
`information, slower communication rates may then be used to communicate
`
`additional selected audio information. See id. at 7:7-17.
`
`23. The ‘641 patent also discusses the ability to communicate audio
`
`information from a portable electronic device to a second device. For example, the
`
`‘641 patent states:
`
`In yet another embodiment, electronic device 300 may be configured as
`a component operable to receive selective information via wireless
`
`
`
`-9-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 14
`
`
`
`communication and communicate the information to a second electronic
`device such as an automobile sound system, home stereo, etc.
`For example, electronic device 300 may utilize transceiver 301 to receive
`wirelessly communicated information. Electronic device 300 may then
`be coupled to an automobile sound system using an interface and
`communicate the received information to the automobile sound system.
`In this manner, electronic device 300 may be used to provide the
`automobile sound system with audio files received via wireless
`communication. Id. at 9:31-43.
`24. The ‘641 patent further discloses in two places that “Bluetooth” may be
`
`used to communicate audio information. First, the ‘641 patent states “In some
`
`embodiments, the wireless communication may involve communicating via a high-
`
`speed, low power microwave wireless link. For example, the wireless link may include
`
`a Bluetooth link, which may operate around 2.4 GHz.” Ex. 1001 at 2:39-43. The
`
`‘641 patent also states that “In another embodiment, electronic device 300 may be
`
`operable to communicate the received audio information to an audio system via a
`
`localized communications-signaling network. One such network may include utilizing
`
`‘Bluetooth’ communication standard, used to provide communication between
`
`electronic devices in a proximal setting.” Ex. 1001 at 9:44-49. The ‘641 patent does
`
`not disclose the use of Bluetooth with an asynchronous channel.
`
`25. The only disclosure of “asynchronous” in the ‘641 patent specification is
`
`found in column 6, which states “The present invention may allow for a relative
`
`increase in transmission speed by removing the requirement that information be
`
`
`
`-10-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 15
`
`
`
`communicated asynchronously to an electronic device. For example, conventional
`
`wireless communication utilizes a specified frequency to communicate information in
`
`two directions (i.e., cellular phones). As such, information is communicated across a
`
`channel in an asynchronous manner to provide a continuous audio signal to the
`
`recipient. The present invention advantageously allows for signals to be transmitted to
`
`an electronic device in a less than asynchronous manner. For example, if a user
`
`selected a song to be wirelessly communicated to an electronic device, system 100
`
`could communicate the information in a less than asynchronous manner allowing the
`
`selected information to be transmitted efficiently thereby decreasing the overall
`
`download time for the selected audio information.” Ex. 1001 at 6:31-47.

`
`Claim Construction of ‘641 Patent Claims
`
`I have been informed that for purposes of this Inter Partes Review, the
`
`standard for claim construction of terms within the claims of the patent is the
`
`“broadest reasonable construction” in light of the specification, which is a different
`
`claim construction standard than what applies in federal district court litigation.
`
`27.
`
`I have been asked for purposes of this declaration to assume that the
`
`following terms have the meanings listed below:
`
` “stream” (claim 1) means “transfer as a flow of data”
`
` “streaming audio signal” (claim 8) means “audio signal transferred as a flow of
`
`data”
`
`
`
`-11-
`
`Samsung Ex. 1023 p. 16
`
`
`
` “[wireless] communication rate” (claims 6, 7, 11 and 12) means “speed at which
`
`data is [wirelessly] transmitted”
`
` “a CD quality listening experience” (claim 11) means “a listening experience
`
`that is similar to that of a CD”
`
`28.
`
`For all terms not specifically listed above, I have been asked to assume
`
`that they have their plain and ordinary meaning under the broadest reasonable
`
`interpretation in light of the specification.
`
