`To the extent that Realtime contends this reference does not explicitly disclose this

`
`Mealey discloses this limitation:
`
`“Disclosed is an approach that reduces resources and time required for
`system initialization. This is accomplished by applying a data compression
`algorithm to the text and data of a boot-image.
`The boot-image is divided into two portions: text and data. The text is
`compressed and bound with a decompression program. It is decompressed
`immediately after being loaded.
`The data portion is a RAM disk file system. The file system is compressed
`at the block level. It is accessed by a pseudo device driver that compresses
`on writes and decompresses on reads. The file system remains compressed
`during system initialization reducing the amount of memory required to
`hold it.
`Applying compression to a boot image can produce a significant time
`savings when booting from a slow device, such as a busy LAN or floppy
`disk. It also reduces the size of the media required to hold the image.
`Finally, it can reduce the amount of memory required to hold the boot
`image until system initialization is complete.”

`
`To the extent that Realtime contends this reference does not explicitly disclose this
`element of this claim (for example, boot data that comprises program code associated
`with one of an operating system of the computer system, an application program, and a
`combination thereof), Apple contends that one of skill in the art would understand the
`operation of booting a computer system to include the element that is missing similar to
`the manner in which the patentee relied upon such knowledge of skill in the art during
`prosecution. See Sections VI. and VII. of Apple’s Invalidity Contentions.

`Mealey discloses this limitation:

`“Disclosed is an approach that reduces resources and time required for
`system initialization. This is accomplished by applying a data compression
`algorithm to the text and data of a boot-image.
`The boot-image is divided into two portions: text and data. The text is
`compressed and bound with a decompression program. It is decompressed
`immediately after being loaded.
`The data portion is a RAM disk file system. The file system is compressed
`at the block level. It is accessed by a pseudo device driver that compresses
`on writes and decompresses on reads. The file system remains compressed
`during system initialization reducing the amount of memory required to
`hold it.
`Applying compression to a boot image can produce a significant time
`savings when booting from a slow device, such as a busy LAN or floppy
`disk. It also reduces the size of the media required to hold the image.
`Finally, it can reduce the amount of memory required to hold the boot
`image until system initialization is complete.”
