`
`
`Professional Experience
`
`1994 - Present - Consultant – Neuhauser Associates, Inc. (also dba CTCS)
`
` I
`
` am currently providing consulting services to various clients in the field of computer architecture
`and system design, with particular emphasis on areas related to intellectual property. I also lead
`engineering teams that perform technical analyses and evaluations.
`
` I
`
` have investigated technical issues, developed declarations and testified in a number of cases. With
`respect to architectural issues this has typically involved the structure of microprocessor and
`microprocessor based systems, including, among others Intel, AMD and ARM. This has included
`evaluating the internal structure and operation of these devices. A number of cases have involved
`various bus interfaces internal and external to these systems, typically related to the interface between
`the processor and the cross connection of bus systems within the PC environment. Other matters have
`included caching, EEPROM architecture, FPGA based simulators, floppy disk interfaces, industrial
`robotics and routers. This work has been performed for clients such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Texas
`Instruments, Intergraph, Scenix, Samsung, Mentor Graphics, DirecTV, LG, and Broadcom.
`
`Additionally, I have investigated a number of software systems for the purpose of evaluating potential
`copying, trade-secret and patent issues. In a number of cases, this involves analysis of the source
`code and comparison to another body of source code performing a similar function. I have reviewed
`code related to robotics, games, customer relationship management, CD-ROM controllers, RAID
`systems and set top boxes (among others). Clients have included MediaTek, Mylex and Texas
`Instruments.
`
`Other matters I have dealt with relate to evaluating proposals and engineering materials in order to
`determine their suitability for purchase or to assess the adequacy of a development effort. Tasks have
`included Internet domain name extensions, control system simulation, microprocessor development
`and real-time debugging. Clients have included Wind River Systems, ICANN and ISI.
`
`1980-1993 - Vice President of Engineering - Palyn Gould Group
`
` I
`
` have managed the hardware and software development of client projects in a wide variety of areas,
`including:
`
`Single and multi-chip microprocessors
`Bus to bus interfaces and cache designs
`Scan test interface and support software
`Protocol converters
`High speed interprocessor interfaces

`
`
`
`These activities included determination of client requirements, development of acceptable proposals,
`scheduling, cost estimation, architectural specification, test, validation and final documentation.
`
`In addition, I was responsible for direct client consultation in a number of areas related primarily to
`midrange and mainframe architectures, with particular emphasis on emulation, reverse engineering
`and compatibility. Projects included:
`
`Communication system and midrange performance analysis
`Comparison of mainframe architectures against the IBM 370
`Mainframe cost estimation
`Specification of architectural extensions
`Design reviews and feasibility studies

`Consultant - Palyn Associates Inc.
`
`Research Assistant - Stanford University
`
`Research Assistant - Johns Hopkins University
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Since 1985 I also worked extensively in the area of technical litigation including patent analysis,
`software copyrights and contract negotiations.
`
`Palyn Gould Group has an international clientele. I provided consultation to many of our clients
`including IBM, Olivetti, Sperry, Burroughs, Mitsubishi, Amdahl, Intel, Hyundai and Honeywell.
`
`1975-1980
`
`During this period I participated in the design and implementation of two emulation engines. One (a
`3 MIP ECL processor) was incorporated into the ICL product line as a small business system. The
`other, a TTL version, was prototyped as an advanced technology project. I developed the architecture
`for both machines and microcode for the TTL version.
`
`1975-1980
`
`While completing my doctoral research I designed and developed basic hardware and software of the
`Stanford Emulation Laboratory. This facility was a platform for general purpose emulation and
`research into processor architectures. I also developed a fully function PDP-11/05 emulation
`(including disk I/O) capable of supporting Unix.
`
`1971-1975
`
`
`
`
`
`My research included parallel processing and emulation host architectures. My dissertation
`“An Emulation Based Analysis of Computer Architecture”, made use of the an instrumented emulator
`to capture various instruction set statistics on the PDP-11 architecture.
`
`1968-1971
`
`Initially I assisted in the testing and validation of communication sub-system diagnostics for the #1-
`ESS/ADF store and forward message switch. Later, I participated in the system design of the #1A-
`ESS voice switch, particularly in the memory system and automated tape billing subsystem. My
`Master’s degree was obtained under a part-time program sponsored by Bell Laboratories.

`Specific Experience Related to Technical Legal Matters
`In addition to my experience as a technical manager and implementer, I have undertaken a
`
`number of technical legal matters over the last 25 years.
`
`Trade Secrets: Usually these have been cases related to hardware or micro-coded designs. The most
`important aspect is the analysis of trade secrets, their relationship to possible public knowledge and
`the comparison of engineering documents. Reconstructing the history of a project from employee
`notebooks and other records is sometimes called for. I have had experience with "clean room" design
`techniques. Many of these matters have dealt with chip and system design.
`
`Patents: Most patent cases I have dealt with have been related to hardware or system architectural
`features. The level of detail has ranged from the logic level to the complete CPU. Tasks that I have
`performed include claim analysis, prior art research and application review. I have also reviewed
`patent portfolios for possible purchase. My work in patent infringement analysis has, at times,
`involved extensive reverse engineering of hardware and software.
`
`Copyrights: I have undertaken a number of software copyright cases. These usually involve PC-
`based code written in assembly language or "C." Some cases have involved issues related to
`specifications. Code I have reviewed was related to CAD, animal pathology tracking, robotic arms,
`games, graphics, RAID systems, peripheral controllers, terminal emulation, and laser printers.
`
`Contracts: I have assisted in the resolution of several contract disputes of a technical nature. Usually
`the issue relates to failure to perform to contract guidelines. I have also supported technical business
`negotiations involving patent licensing and the selection of Internet domain names.
`
`Litigation Support: In all of the above areas, I have directly supported attorneys in technical matters
`such as deposition preparation, execution and review. In addition, I try to provide simplified
`explanations and analogies for complex technical issues. I have been deposed a number of times and
`have testified in Federal and State court on several occasions.
