`Abnormal & Transient Conditions Limitations
`
`‘785 (G1, 3), ‘792 (G1), ‘801 (G1)
`
`Severinsky discloses the “abnormal and transient
`conditions” limitations.

`IPR2015-00801
`Ex. 1852 (Stein) ¶¶293-303
`
`Claim 7 (‘097 Patent):

`under abnormal and transient
`conditions.”

`Ex. 1201 (’097 Patent) claim 7
`See also claims 17, 27 and 37

`and/or safety considerations.”

`Issue 2 –Lateur discloses cruise control
`

`
`Lateur discloses the “cruise control” limitations.
`
`Claim 283 (‘634 Patent):
`
`[283.1] “. . . receiving operator
`input specifying a desired
`cruising speed;”
`
`[283.2] “controlling instantaneous
`engine torque output and
`operation of the at least one
`electric motor in accordance with
`variation in the RL to maintain
`the speed of the hybrid vehicle
`according to the desired cruising

`
`A POSA would have been motivated to combine Severinsky and
`Suga, e.g., to target a ZEV classification

`Petition at 42
`Ex. 1852 (Stein) ¶¶398-403,382-397
`Ex. 1889 (Reply Decl.) ¶¶43-45
`
`Claim 291 (‘634 Patent):
`[291] “. . . wherein the at least one
`electric motor is sufficiently powerful
`to provide acceleration of said
`vehicle sufficient to conform to the
`Federal urban cycle driving fuel
`mileage test without use of torque
`from the engine to propel the
`vehicle.”
`Ex. 1851 (‘634 Patent) claim 291;
`See also claim 266
`
`Dr. Stein (Decl.):
`A POSA “would have understood that these
`tests [Suga] would assess whether the
`motor’s power performance was sufficient for
`a hybrid-vehicle during times that the vehicle
`is being propelled by the motor alone without
`the use of torque form the engine, i.e., within
`Severinsky ’970’s low speed mode.”

`
`Undisputed “Road load” claim construction: “the amount of instantaneous
`torque required to propel the vehicle, be it positive or negative.”
`Institution Decision at 7-8
`
`Paice:
`
`Dr. Stein:
`“[T]he challenged claims do not
`require determining ‘the
`amount of instantaneous
`torque required to propel the
`vehicle’ based on rolling
`resistance or wind resistance,
`but not based on accelerator
`pedal, as argued by Mr.
`Hannemann.”
`
`Ex. 1889 (Reply Decl.) ¶50

`
`Vittone discloses “RL”
`‘801(G4)
`PTAB: “[W]e are persuaded by Petitioner that ‘driveability torque
`requirement’ and ‘total traction torque’ represent the
`instantaneous torque required to propel the vehicle and,
`therefore, Vittone discloses ‘road load.’ ”
`Vittone:

`
`

`
`Issue 4 – Vittone discloses limiting ROC of engine torque & stoich + motor supp.
`
`‘801(G4)
`
`PTAB: A POSA “would have understood that Vittone’s ‘steady state
`management’ of the thermal engine meets the limitation of the ‘rate of change of
`torque output of said engine is limited to a threshold value.’ ” IPR2015-00801
`Ex. 1894 (‘875 Final Decision) at 12; Reply at 19
`Vittone:

`
`[241.6] “. . . supplying

`the at least one electric
`motor.”

`Issue 6 – Anderson discloses limiting ROC of engine torque & stoich + motor supp.
`
`‘785(G1, 4)
`
`PTAB: “Anderson’s ‘slow transients’ strategy would have suggested to a skilled
`artisan a hybrid control strategy that limits the engine’s output torque ‘to less than
`[its] inherent maximum rate of increase of output torque.’”

`
`[241.5] “. . . wherein said
`controlling the engine comprises

`
`Issue 8 – Rationale to combine + Anderson and Paice’s repeated T/A arguments
`
`‘785(G1, 4)
`
`PTAB: Paice’s argument that Anderson’s teachings are limited to series “would
`require us to ignore Anderson’s clear indication to the reader that her ensuing
`discussion of the optimum control strategy applies equally to both parallel and
`series-type vehicles.”
