`“power = torque * speed” and component sizing is “not part of the claims, and thus, is

`Q. Could you draw me some examples of a
`setpoint that varies as a function of
`engine speed as recited in claim 5 of the
`'347 patent?
`A. Sure... Okay. Number 1 shows a straight
`line that’s gradually increasing in torque as
`the engine speed increases
`
`A. ... Number 2 isn't very artistic but it's
`intended to mimic the maximum torque
`output curve
`
`A. ... Number 3 is a straight line with gradually
`diminishing torque with engine speed
`IPR2015-00794
`Ex. 1460 (’884 Hannemann Dep.) at 42:14-43:16
`Q. So with respect to curve 4 though that I've
`drawn, does that or does that not meet a
`setpoint that varies as a function of
`engine speed as recited by claim 5?
`A. So, yeah, I guess it technically meets
`that, that language.

`...wherein said controller starts and operates said engine when torque
`require to be produced by said engine to propel the vehicle... is at least equal
`to a setpoint (SP) above which said engine torque is efficiently produced, and
`wherein the torque produced by said engine when operated at said
`setpoint (SP) is substantially less than the maximum torque output
