`comprises at least one component selected from a memory, a temporal processing
`unit, and a spatial processing unit.
`4. The process according to claim 1, wherein forming the at least one histogram
`further comprises successively increasing the size of a selected area until the
`boundary of the target is found.
`5. The process according to claim 4, wherein forming the at least one histogram
`further comprises adjusting a center of the selected area based upon a shape of the
`target until substantially the entire target is within the selected area.
`6. The process according to claim 5, wherein forming the at least one histogram
`further comprises setting the X minima and maxima and Y minima and maxima as
`boundaries in X and Y histogram formation units such that only pixels within the
`selected area will be processed by the image processing system

`PO’s Prosecution History Argument Has Been Rejected
`•PO argues the examiner’s “pattern of rejections and allowances”
`of other claims during prosecution limits the scope of element
`1[c] but cites no clear disclaimer. PO Supp. Reply at 7
`“An ambiguous disclaimer . . . does not advance the patent's notice function or
`justify public reliance, and the court willnot use it to limit a claim term's
`ordinary meaning.” Sandisk Corp. v. Memorex Prods., 415 F.3d 1278, 1287(Fed. Cir. 2005)
`•The Board already rejected this argumentin IPR2017-00353.
`“We have reviewed the prosecution history in Exhibit 1004, and do not find
`support for Patent Owner’s construction. . . We do not find, and Patent Owner
`has not pointed us to, any disavowal of claim scope or any other statement in
`the prosecution history that clearly limits claim 1 to a particular embodiment in
`the specification.” IPR2017-00353, Final Written Decision at 17.

`Gerhardt may increase speed by using smaller active
`region for blob definition process:
`• “by limiting examination, and thus blob definition, to only a
`portion of the full pixel image (say, a 320x240 or 220x160 pixel
`subset), system speed can be increased significantly.” Ex. 1013 at

`That smaller portion that is histogrammed is derived from
`the prior blob centroid
