`

`Claim 1 of the ’437 Patent recites “an automatic recognition
`process.”
`
`’437 Patent, Claim 1
`

`
`

`

`Claim 43 of the ’437 Patent recites “automatically generating and
`transmitting . . . an identification parameter.”
`
`’437 Patent, Claim 43
`

`
`

`

`Claim 1 of the ’746 Patent “automatically causes at least one parameter
`indicative of the class of devices to be sent to the computer.”
`
`’746 Patent, Claim 1
`
`9
`
`

`

`Claim 34 of the ’746 Patent recites “automatically sending . . . at least
`one parameter . . . Identifying the analog data acquisition device as a
`digital device.”
`
`’746 Patent, Claim 34
`
`10
`
`

`

`Claim 1 of the ’399 Patent recites an inquired device that “signals to the
`host device that it is an input/output device customary in a host device.”
`
`’399 Patent, Claim 1
`
`11
`
`

`

`Claim 11 of the ’399 Patent recites an inquired device that “signals to
`the host device that it is an input/output device customary in a host
`device.”
`
`’399 Patent, Claim 11

`
`

`

`For the “automatic recognition process,” the Petitions rely on Pucci in
`view of Schmidt.
`
`The Petition:
`
`’1863 Petition, pp. 14-15; ’1842 Petition, p. 12; ’1864 Petition, p. 14
`
`13
`
`

`

`In Pucci, the ION node emulates a conventional disk drive.
`
`Pucci, p. 220; ’1842 Petition, p. 12; ’1863 Petition, p. 14; ’1864 Petition, p. 14
`

`
`

`

`In Pucci, the ION node emulates a conventional disk drive.
`
`Pucci, pp. 220-21; ’1842 Petition, p. 36; ’1863 Petition, pp. 37, 38; ’1864 Petition, pp. 12, 14
`
`15
`
`

`

`When emulating a conventional disk drive, Pucci uses the “common”
`SCSI standard.
`
`Pucci, pp. 220-21; ’1842 Petition, pp. 12, 27-28; ’1863 Petition, pp. 15, 19, 38; ’1864 Petition, pp. 15, 33-34
`
`16
`
`

`

`Using the SCSI standard, Pucci’s host would send an INQUIRY to
`request information from its peripheral (i.e., the ION node).
`
`Schmidt, p. 88; ’1842 Petition, p. 30; ’1863 Petition, p. 15; ’1864 Petition, p. 15
`
`17
`
`

`

`Using the SCSI standard, Pucci’s ION node would respond to an
`INQUIRY command with the device class.
`
`Schmidt, p. 139; ’1842 Petition, p. 28; ’1863 Petition, p. 19; ’1864 Petition, p. 34
`
`18
`
`

`

`Using the SCSI standard, Pucci’s ION node would respond to an
`INQUIRY command with “00h” to signify the disk drive class.
`
`Schmidt, pp. 132-33; ’1842 Petition, p. 29; ’1863 Petition, pp. 19-20; ’1864 Petition, pp. 34-35
`
`19
`
`

`

`Pucci’s system uses SCSI to emulate a hard drive—just like the Tasler
`patents.
`
`’746 Patent, 3:49-53, 5:14-34; ’1863 Petition, pp. 7-8; see also, ’437 Patent, 3:51-56, 5:17-37; ’1842 Petition, pp. 7, 27;

`

`Papst alleges that using SCSI in Pucci to emulate a disk drive would
`have led to unpredictable results.
`
`POR:

`

`Using the SCSI standard in Pucci to emulate a disk drive would not
`have led to unpredictable results.
`
`Dr. Zadok:
`
`’1863 Ex. 1054, ¶19; ’1863 Pet. Reply, p. 13; see also ’1842 Ex. 1054, ¶19; ’1842 Pet. Reply, p. 14;
`’1864 Ex. 1054, ¶32; ’1864 Pet. Reply, p. 15
`
`22
`
`

`

`Papst’s expert admitted: Pucci’s ION node could identify itself as a disk
`drive.
`
`Mr. Gafford:
`
`Ex. 1056, 83:5-11; ’1842 Pet. Reply, p. 15; ’1863 Pet. Reply, p. 14; ’1864 Pet. Reply, pp. 16-17
`
`23
`
`

`

`Papst alleges that the combination is not obvious because the ION
`node could respond with a CHECK CONDITION status.
`
`POR:
`
`’1863 POR, p. 20; see also ’1842 POR, p. 21; ’1864 POR, p. 17
`
`24
`
`

`

`When executed properly, the ION node would not return a CHECK
`CONDITION status.
`
`Dr. Zadok:
`
`’1863 Ex. 1054, ¶27; ’1863 Pet. Reply, p. 15; see also ’1842 Ex. 1054, ¶27; ’1842 Pet. Reply, p. 16;
`’1864 Ex. 1054, ¶18; ’1864 Pet. Reply, p. 5
`
`25
`
`

`

`A CHECK CONDITION status is returned only if the target is unable to
`return INQUIRY data.
`
`Schmidt, p. 88; ’1842 Pet. Reply, p. 16; ’1863 Pet. Reply, p. 15; ’1864 Pet. Reply, p. 5
`
`26
`
`

`

`The SCSI standard uses the REQUEST SENSE command after a
`CHECK CONDITION status is returned.
`
`Dr. Zadok:
`
`’1863 Ex. 1054, ¶27; ’1863 Pet. Reply, p. 15; see also ’1842 Ex. 1054, ¶27; ’1842 Pet. Reply, p. 16;
`’1864 Ex. 1054, ¶17; ’1864 Pet. Reply, p. 5
`
`27
`
`

`

`Papst’s expert admitted: the system in the Tasler patents also returns a
`CHECK CONDITION if a read command requests an address beyond
`the size of the drive.
`
`Mr. Gafford:
`
`Ex. 1055, 25:7-22; see also 1842 Pet. Reply, p. 22; ’1863 Pet. Reply, p. 21; ’1864 Pet. Reply, p. 12
`
`28
`
`

`

`Using the SCSI standard would not have rendered Pucci inoperable or
`unsatisfactory for its intended purpose.

`

`Pucci in view of Kepley stores the
`processed analog data in memory as at
`least one file of digitized analog data
`(’437, ’746 patents)
`
`30
`
`

`

`Claim 1 of the ’437 Patent stores the processed and digitized analog
`data in the data storage memory as a file.
`
`’437 Patent, Claim 1
`
`31
`
`

`

`Claim 1 of the ’746 Patent stores the processed and digitized analog
`data in a file system as a file.
`
`’746 Patent, Claim 1
`
`32
`
`

`

`For storing processed and digitized analog data as a file, the Petitions
`rely on Pucci in view of Kepley.
`
`The Petition:
`
`’1863 Petition, p. 30; see also ’1842 Petition, p. 24; ’1864 Petition, p. 14
`
`33
`
`

`

`In his reply declaration, Dr. Zadok reiterated his reliance on Pucci in
`view of Kepley.
`
`Dr. Zadok:
`
`’1863 Ex. 1054, ¶12; ’1863 Pet. Reply pp. 5-6; see also ’1842 Ex. 1054, ¶12; ’1842 Pet. Reply, pp. 6-7

`

`

`Pucci does not criticize, discredit, or discourage the use of a file-
`storage system—Pucci encourages the use of a file-storage system.
`
`Pucci, pp. 220-21, 222; ’1842 Petition, pp. 11, 24; ’1863 Petition, pp. 12-13, 30; ’1864 Petition, pp. 12, 14
`
`35
`
`

`

`Pucci is already designed to accommodate a file-storage system.
`
`Dr. Zadok:
`
`’1863 Ex. 1054, ¶9; ’1863 Pet. Reply, pp. 5-6; see also ’1842 Ex. 1054, ¶9; ’1842 Pet. Reply, pp. 6-7

`Papst’s expert admitted: Pucci’s system can store file system data in
`the hard drive.

`Mr. Gafford:

`

`Papst’s argument that buffered data cannot be data stored as a file
`conflicts with the Tasler patents.
`POR:

`In Pucci, the workstation communicates with the ION node as if the
`node was a conventional device.

`
`

`

`In Pucci, the workstation is hardware independent, so driver changes to
`the host are unnecessary upon workstation upgrade.

`

`The Tasler patents use a SCSI interface and a SCSI driver—just like
`Pucci.

`
`

`

`Papst’s arguments about user-loaded software are moot for the ’399
`patent.
`
`Papst: “it would have been illogical for a POSITA to configure an ION Node to
`respond with data indicating an input/output device customary in a host device, such
`as an 00h (disk drive) class, without first having user intervention to ensure the
`workstation had the proper software installed to work with the ION Node”
`’1864 POR, pp. 17-18
`But the ’399 claims do not forbid “user intervention”
`
`Papst: “Pucci’s disclosure of a controlling program/application that must be loaded on
`the host computer for communication to occur is contrary to the ’399 Patent’s explicit
`teachings of an interface device that requires no specialized software to be loaded
`on the host computer by a user”
`’1864 POR, pp. 20-21
`But the ’399 claims do not forbid user-loaded “specialized software”
