` EXAMINATION BY COUNSEL FOR PATENT OWNER
`
`BY MS. BAILEY:
`
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Braasch. Thank you
`
`for being here.
`
` A. Good morning.
`
` Q. We are appearing via video once again.
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. So I'm going to go ahead and jump right
`
`in, probably make this a short day. So you submitted
`
`a supplemental declaration in the last response; is
`
`that correct?
`
` A. That's correct.
`
` MS. BAILEY: Okay. And, Ms. Crump, I'm going
`
`to go ahead and have you pull that out. It is
`
`entitled "Second Declaration of Michael S. Braasch",
`
`and it has a Bates number already at the bottom of
`
`Exhibit 1025.
`
` While you all are flipping through, if you
`
`want to go ahead and pull out de Jong and Tetley,

`
`on your second declaration, flip through it and make
`
`sure that is a complete copy.

`
` Q. Do you recognize this as your second
`
`declaration?
`
` A. That's correct.
`
` Q. And that is your signature on the last

`
`thing with de Jong and Tetley.
`
`BY MS. BAILEY:
`
` Q. Dr. Braasch, do you have de Jong Exhibit
`
`1005 in front of you?
`

`
` Q. Dr. Braasch, is it fine if we refer to
`
`this as Tetley or the Tetley reference?
`
` A. That will be fine.
`
` Q. So, Dr. Braasch, is it your opinion that
`
`de Jong discloses a route planning algorithm?
`
` A. Yes, it is.
`
` Q. Is it your opinion that de Jong proposes
`
`using that route planning algorithm in ECDIS?
`
` A. Yes. I have opined about that.
`
` Q. Is it your opinion that an ECDIS could
`
`be modified to include de Jong's route planning
`
`algorithm?
`
` A. Yes. I have opined about the motivation
`
`to combine the teachings of de Jong with the
`
`teachings of Tetley, for example, the teachings of de
`
`Jong in ECDIS as described in Tetley, for example.
`
` Q. Thank you. Please turn to de Jong
`
`Exhibit 1005 and the last page, which is 132.
`
` THE WITNESS: Okay. I'm at de Jong page 132.
`

`
`actually three, underscore, one, but I'm going to
`
`simply state three-one if that works for you.
`
` A. That's fine.
`
` Q. And you provided testimony in this IPR
`
`with respect to Test Case 3_1; is that correct?
`
` A. Yes, I have.
`
` Q. So you're familiar with Test Case 3_1
`
`and the information it's presenting here on page 132
`
`of de Jong. Correct?
`
` A. That's correct.
`
` Q. Let's take a look at the ranked routes
`
`that are shown, and so do you see optimal route,
`
`colon, shortest distance and then a box below it has
`
`Rank 1, 2, 3, 4 and then it has routes. Do you see
`
`where I'm pointing?
`
` A. Yes, I do.
`
` Q. So I want to concentrate on the first
`
`route that is ranked, Rank 1, and it has Nodes 27,
`
`38, 44, 47, 52, 55, and so forth. Do you see those?
`
` A. Yes, I do.
`
` Q. So explain to me how a navigator would
`
`use ECDIS as modified to include de Jong's route
`
`planning algorithm to navigate from Node 52 to Node
`
`55, for example?

` MR. FERGUSON: Object to the form.

`
` THE WITNESS: In this particular example, the
`
`nodes are illustrated on Bates Page 120, and in that
`
`illustration, it is shown that there is a line
`
`connecting 52 and 55, and as I have opined elsewhere
`
`in my declaration, that an ECDIS can show the route
`
`that is being displayed; and in this particular
`
`example, if 52 and 55 are nodes or waypoints, then
`
`they would be illustrated as such on the chart and
`
`the line connecting them would be shown as well to
`
`indicate the path between them.
`
`BY MS. BAILEY:
`
` Q. I'm trying to understand, perhaps, more
`
`detail of how the ECDIS system would work in this
`
`example. So would the ECDIS system display the chart
`
`and show Node 52 and Node 55 with a line between
`
`them?
`
` A. Yes. If you look at my report at -- for
`
`example, it's page 79 of my declaration. It's Bates
`
`page 82 of the Exhibit 1025, and what I have
`
`illustrated there is an annotated figure from Tetley
`
`that shows a route and there are circles that are
`
`connected by lines that are illustrating the route,
`

`
`navigation chart within an ECDIS.
`
` Q. So if the navigator is on the ship at
`
`Node 52 and wants to get to Node 55, how does the
`
`navigator navigate to Node 55 using the ECDIS?
`
` A. Well, I should start by mentioning,
`
`first of all, of course, that my analysis that I have
`
`provided, for example, in my declaration starting at
`
`paragraph 148 and following up through 158, for
`
`example, is applying Garmin's construction of
`
`navigation. I understand that there's some dispute
`
`about that, but I'm applying Garmin's construction as
`
`far as this relates to the challenged claims, but as
`
`I have described generally in this section of the
`
`declaration, that there are numerous teachings for
`
`how an ECDIS, for example, would provide for
`
`navigation and, in particular, this question is
`
`dealing with directing the craft.
`
` So, for example, at paragraph 149, ECDIS can
`
`provide off-track alarms to inform the mariner that
`
`there's been an excessive deviation from the desired
`
`path.
`
` At paragraph 150, the ECDIS-compliant
`
`NavMaster professional, for example, can provide the
`
`course to steer, and there are -- I have, you know, a
`
`lot of additional opinions that I'm describing within
`

`
`this section of the report, but those are some
`
`examples.
`
` Q. Thank you for those. I still want to go
`
`back to the question, though, on, again, if the
`
`navigator is on the ship at Node 52, then how does
`
`that navigator know how to get to Node 55?
`
` And the alarm off-track alarms that you
`
`pointed to or the course to steer, if that is
`
`relevant to your answer, explain how, but I'm still
`
`unclear. How does the navigator know, using ECDIS,
`
`to get to Node 55?
`
` A. Well, for example, in paragraph 150 that
`
`I was just mentioning, as I state, Tetley also
`
`teaches that the ECDIS-compliant NavMaster
`
`professional can calculate for each leg of a route
`
`the course to steer, and it continues, and so the
`
`route, for example -- an example is illustrated in
`
`the Tetley Figure 7.17, and here in this section of
`
`Tetley that I'm referencing, the example of the
`
`NavMaster professional is calculating for each leg of
`
`a route the course to steer, and so the portion of
`
`the route from -- in the example that we're talking
`
`about here from 52 to 55 would be a leg of a route
`
`and, as is described here, the NavMaster professional
`
`example of ECDIS is calculating that course to steer.

`
` Q. So the NavMaster itself will calculate
`
`the course to steer from Node 52 through Node 55; is
`
`that correct?
`
` A. In this example, yes, that is correct.
`
` Q. So the NavMaster has software that can
`
`calculate and inform the navigator how to get from
`
`Node 52 to Node 55; is that your opinion?
`
` A. This example of a ECDIS compliance
`
`system NavMaster professional has the software that
`
`can calculate the course to steer for that leg of the
`
`route.
`
` Q. And at paragraph 150 of your declaration
`
`that you just referenced, you're pointing to page 128
`
`of Tetley; is that correct?
`
` A. That's correct.
`
` Q. So let's look at what Tetley discusses
`
`with respect to the NavMaster. Can you please turn
`
`to page 128.
`
` A. I'm at page 128 of Tetley.
`

`
`"Passage Plans"?
`

`
`the second paragraph too.
`
` A. "Passage Plans. Having created the
`
`route, the user can enter estimated speed, desired
`
`departure/arrival times, and calculate for each leg
`
`of the route: Course to steer, allowing for
`
`variation, deviation and title stream, if required,
`
`distance, estimated time.
`
` The user can view the plan on screen, change
`
`variables as required and then print a copy of the
`
`plan. As an example of a chart overlaid with a
`
`route, 7.17 -- sorry -- "Figure 7.17 shows ARCS chart
`
`109, with a route approaching the Humber River,
`
`illustrating waypoints entered for the planned
`
`route."
`
` Q. Thank you. So the first section that
`
`you read said "Having created a route, the user can
`
`enter estimated speeds, desired departure/arrival
`
`times calculated for each of the leg of the route,
`
`course to steer", and it goes on to say other things.
`
` Is it your opinion that the NavMaster
`
`calculates the course to steer in that discussion in
`
`Tetley?
`
` A. Yes, because it's assisting the user to
`
`determine these values. If you go on in the same
`
`section, then, it talks about route-monitoring

`
` There's other disclosures that I have cited in

`
`I would be happy to talk about that as well if you
`
`like.
`
` Q. We can talk about that later, but my
`
`question was with respect to this section in Tetley
`
`and your statement that the NavMaster calculates the
`
`course to steer.
`
` I'm still unclear what you're relying on to
`
`say that it's the NavMaster software that calculates
`
`the course to steer. Could you point that to me in
`
`Tetley, please?
`
` [Witness peruses document.]
`
` THE WITNESS: Well, if we go back to the
`
`previous page in Tetley, under the section titled
`
`"7.7.2, Using NavMaster", it states: "When using the
`
`NavMaster, the recommended sequence to follow is",
`
`then four bullets: Create chart points, create a
`
`route, calculate a plan, monitor by plotting track,
`
`viewing data in the navigation monitor panel and
`
`comparing progress with the plan; and if we go on to

`
`the section that was just described, a person of
`
`ordinary skill reading this would understand that the
`
`bullets that are listed under having created a route,
`
`etc., that those bullets would be things that the
`
`NavMaster would provide.
`
`BY MS. BAILEY:
`
` Q. Why?
`
` A. Because there would -- if the NavMaster
`
`wasn't providing that, then there would be little
`
`point to illustrating those, to calling out those
`
`items. This disclosure in Tetley is talking about
`
`the capabilities of the system, not the duties that a
`
`human would have to do on their own.
`
` Q. It says the user can enter this
`
`information and calculate for each leg of the route.
`
`How do you explain that?
`
` A. What I read this to mean is that the
`
`user can interact with the software in order to be
`
`able to determine these values.
`
` Q. So using ECDIS and going back to my
`
`question on how do you get from Node 52 to Node 55,
`
`explain to me one more time -- I appreciate that I
`
`might have already asked this question, but explain
`
`to me how the navigator would use ECDIS.

`
`NavMaster inform the navigator on getting from Node
`
`52 to Node 55?
`
` A. Well, the NavMaster was just one example
`
`of many that I have in this section. As I indicated
`
`earlier, NavMaster provides the course to steer on a
`
`given leg. So that's an example. In addition, as I
`
`mentioned earlier, ECDIS is very clear in its ability
`
`to specify a limit of deviation from the planned
`
`route at which an activation of an automatic
`
`off-track alarm occurs.
`
` So the activation of an alarm when the vessel
`
`has deviated more than a specified amount from a
`
`course is clearly within the scope of directing a
`
`craft. That is part of ECDIS, and then in this
`
`section, I go on to cite other examples in Tetley
`
`with regard to the directing a craft portion of the
`
`navigation construction.
`
` Q. Tetley at page 28, Figure 7.17, you
`
`referenced it earlier because you also mention it in
`
`your declaration at paragraph 156 -- I'm sorry -- at
`
`146. Is that a route that is shown on a chart,
`
`Figure 7.17?
`
` A. Yes. That's correct.
`
` Q. And the circles, I believe you said
`
`earlier, are waypoints; is that correct?

`
` A. That's correct.
`
` Q. So is it common to show a route by
`
`putting a straight line in between two waypoints?
`
` MR. FERGUSON: Object to the form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Well, I don't know the legal
`
`definition of "common", but, certainly, straight
`
`lines in between waypoints are, certainly, an example
`
`of a way that a leg or a portion of a route is
`
`depicted.
`
`BY MS. BAILEY:
`
` Q. Will the ship always travel in a
`
`straight line between two waypoints?
`
` A. Not necessarily always. It depends on
`
`-- it could depend on the sea conditions. It could
`
`depend on the system that's controlling the vessel in
`
`order to attempt to adhere to the desired path.
`
` Q. How is the desired path determined?
`
` A. Well, that's the route that we've been
`
`talking about.
`
` Q. So is the route the waypoints with
`
`straight lines in between them?
`
` A. That's an example.
`
` Q. What would be another example?

`
`path. So as I have described in my declaration, that
`
`there -- that the path could actually have a --
`
`possibly have a width to it rather than just
`
`exclusively a straight line between the waypoints.
`
` Q. Let me make sure I understand what you
`
`mean by the width. If I'm on a boat and I'm pointing
`
`forward to Node 55 and I'm at Node 52 -- we'll stay
`
`with the same example -- is the width that you're
`
`referring to the width of the boat or the distance
`
`between Node 52 and Node 55?
`
` A. It's actually neither. The width would
`
`be orthogonal to the line connecting the two
`
`waypoints, and as I have described in my declaration
`
`and I believe Mr. Brown confirmed, that that path
`
`width is not necessarily a fixed width. It could
`
`possibly be somewhat indeterminant.
`
` Q. So let's go back to Figure 7.17 and my
`
`questions on the waypoints. So if the navigator is
`
`looking at the chart such as Figure 7.17, how does
`
`the navigator know to get from one waypoint to
`
`another?
`
` A. Well, for example, as I've described
`
`earlier, the example, the NavMaster provides the
`
`course to steer between -- or for each leg of the
`
`route, and as I have described elsewhere in my

`
`declaration, there are other systems in Tetley that
`
`provide something called automatic navigation and
`
`track-keeping, so, essentially, an autopilot for the
`
`vessel.
`
` Q. What is the course to steer?
`
` A. In this particular example, I believe it
`
`is the -- and I haven't opined on this particular
`
`part. So I have to caveat my answer, but I believe
`
`it is the heading that the vessel needs to be turned
`
`to in the effort to keep the vessel on the path of --
`
`on this particular leg.
`
` Q. How is the path determined?
`
` A. Could I hear the question again?
`
` Q. Sure. How is the path determined for
`
`the leg?
`
` A. Well, in this example, there is -- you
`
`know, there's an example listed in Figure 7.17 of an
`
`example route. Obviously, my opinions are describing
`
`how, for example, de Jong can -- de Jong's teachings
`
`can provide the determination of a route.
`
` Q. You just said that the heading how the
`
`boat is turned in an effort to keep the vessel on the
`
`path. So I'm asking how is that path determined?
`
` A. It's the leg between the waypoints.
`
`It's part of the route.

`
` Q. Okay. How do you determine how to
`
`traverse that leg between waypoints?
`
` A. As I have just testified, in the example
`
`of the NavMaster, it calculates a course to steer for
`
`each leg of the route. In other disclosure within
`
`Tetley, there are other systems that provide for
`
`automatic navigation and track-keeping.
