`INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 7,208,895
`
`COUNT I:
`
`12.
`
`On April 24, 2007, United States Patent No. 7,208,895 (“the ‘895 patent”) was duly and
`
`legally issued for “Control Systems and Methods for Permanent Magnet Rotating Machines.” A
`
`true and correct copy of the ‘895 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof.
`
`13.
`
`Nidec Motor is the assignee and owner of all rights and title to the ‘895 patent, with the
`
`right to enforce the patent against infringers and to sue for and collect damages for all relevant
`
`times, including the right to assert the present cause of action.
`
`14.
`
`Defendants manufacture, make, have made, use, practice,
`
`import, provide, supply,
`
`distribute, sell andfor offer for sale products in or into the United States, including but not limited
`
`to blower motors for HVAC systems, that infringe one or more claims of the ‘895 patent in
`
`violation of one or more subsections of 35 U.S.C. § 271.
`
`
`
`
`
`Case: 4:13—CV-01895—JCH Doc. #: 1 Filed: 09/25/13 Page: 4 of 17 PagelD #: 4
`
`15.
`
`Defendants” products that infringe the “895 patent include but are not limited to “IHP
`
`115~120V Uni ” BO Part Number ZWK702E0750501 (“the HP Broad Ocean Motor”).
`
`16.
`
`As one example of Defendants’ infringement of the ‘895 Patent, the HP Broad Ocean
`
`Motor infringes at least claims 9 and 21 of the ‘895 Patent. Details of this infringement are set
`
`forth below:
`
`17.
`
`Claim 9 recites “[a] permanent magnet rotating machine and controller assembly
`
`configured to perform the method of claim 1.” The HP Broad Ocean Motor includes a motor
`
`controller that controls a permanent magnet rotating machine that performs the method of claim
`
`1.
`
`18.
`
`As recited in claim 1, the permanent magnet rotating machine of the HP Broad Ocean
`
`Motor includes “a stator and a rotor situated to rotate relative to the stator, the stator having a
`
`plurality of energizable phase windings situated therein.” A photograph of the HP Broad Ocean
`
`Motor having a permanent magnet rotating machine having the recited elements of claim 1 is
`
`provided below:
`
`
`
`
`
`Case: 4:13—cv—01895—JCH Doc. #: 1 Filed: 09/25/13 Page: 5 of 17 PagelD #: 5
`
`19.
`
`As further recited in claim 1 of the ‘895 Patent,
`
`the HP Broad Ocean Motor is configured
`
`for “receiving a rotor torque demand.” As shown in the table below, the HP Broad Ocean Motor
`
`exhibits substantially constant rotor torque (between 24.4 lb-in and 25.0 lb—in) over a range of
`
`rotor speeds (between 600 RPMs to around 1200 RPMS). Upon information and belief, the
`
`motor controller for such product must rely on a rotor torque demand to achieve such calibration
`
`of torque output over a range of speeds.
`
`
`
`20.
`
`As still further recited in claim 1 of the ‘895 Patent, the HP Broad Ocean Motor is
`
`configured for “calculating a scaled torque demand fiom the received torque demand as a
`
`function of a speed of the machine to obtain a substantially constant rotor torque over a range of
`
`rotor speeds.” As stated in paragraph 19, the HP Broad Ocean Motor exhibits substantially
`
`constant rotor torque (between 24.4 lb~in and 25.0 lb—in) over a range of rotor speeds (between
`
`600 RPMs to around 1200 RPMs). Upon information and belief, the motor controller of the HP
`
`Broad Ocean Motor must scale the torque demand to produce such constant rotor torque from an
`
`input rotor torque demand.
`
`21.
`
`Furthermore, the HP Broad Ocean Motor includes a speed sensor. Upon information and
`
`belief, the HP Broad Ocean Motor uses the speed of the motor as sensed by the speed sensor as
`
`the feedback element to control how the torque demand is sealed in order to achieve the result of
`
`
`
`Case: 4:13—CV—01895—JCH DOC. #2 1 Filed: 09/25/13 Page: 6 0f 17 PageID #: 6
`
`a substantially constant rotor torque over a range of rotor speeds. A photograph of the HP Broad
`
`Ocean Motor having a speed sensor (xHall Device “40AF139”) is provided below:
`
`
`
`22.
`
`Claim 21 recites “[a] permanent magnet rotating machine and controller assembly
`
`configured to perform the method of claim 12.” The HP Broad Ocean Motor includes a motor
`
`controller that controls a permanent magnet rotating machine that performs the method of claim
`
`12.
`
`23.
`
`As recited in claim 12, the permanent magnet rotating machine of the HP Broad Ocean
`
`Motor includes “a stator and a rotor situated to rotate relative to the stator, the stator having a
`
`plurality of energizable phase windings situated therein.”
`
`24.
`
`Upon information and belief, the HP Broad Ocean Motor is configured for “calculating
`
`an IQr demand from a speed or torque demand,” as recited in claim 12.
`
`25.
`
`Upon information and belief, the HP Broad Ocean Motor is configured for “calculating a
`
`dr—axis injection current demand as a fiJnction of a speed of the rotor,” as recited in claim 12.
`
`
`
`Case: 4:13-cv—01895-JCH Doc. #: 1 Filed109/25/13 Page: 7 of 17 PagelD it: 7
`
`26.
`
`Upon information and belief, the HP Broad Ocean Motor is configured for “combining
`
`the IQr demand and the dr—axis injection current demand to produce an Ier demand that is
`
`compensated for any torque contribution of dr—axis—current,” as recited in claim 12.
`
`27.
`
`The HP Broad Ocean Motor, when used by Broad Ocean’s customers as part of HVAC
`
`systems and as intended and instructed by Defendants, infringes at least claims 9 and 21 of the
`
`“895 Patent. Upon information and belief, the HP Broad Ocean Motor is specifically designed
`
`and specifically marketed by Defendants as a blower motor for use in an HVAC system.
`
`28.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendants offer to sell or sell within the United States or
`
`import into the United States blower motors, which constitute an apparatus for use in practicing
`
`the claimed methods of the ‘895 Patent. The motor controller andfor permanent magnet rotating
`
`machine of the HP Broad Ocean Motor constitutes a material component of the claimed
`
`I
`
`invention of the ‘895 Patent.
`
`29.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendants knew that the HP Broad Ocean Motor is
`
`especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement of the ‘895 patent. Upon
`
`information and belief, the motor controller and/or permanent magnet rotating machine of the HP
`
`Broad Ocean Motor is specifically designed and specifically marketed for use in practicing
`
`claims 9 and 21 of the ‘895 Patent.
`
`30.
`
`Upon information and belief, the motor controller and/or permanent magnet rotating
`
`machine of the HP Broad Ocean Motor is not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable
`
`for substantial noninfringing use. There is no substantial non—infringing use of the motor
`
`controller and permanent magnet rotating machine of the HP Broad Ocean Motor because, upon
`
`information and belief, they are specifically designed and marketed as a component of a blower
`
`motor for use in an HVAC system.
