`
`“Forming” not limited to a single frame
`“The process according to claim 1, wherein forming the at least one
`histogramfurther comprises successively increasing the size of a selected
`area until the boundary of the target is found.
`“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.”
`“It will be appreciated that as the target moves, the targeting box
`Patent discloses adjusting
`will move with the target, constantly adjusting the center of the
`center and enlarging
`targeting box based upon the movement of the target and
`enlarging and reducing the sizeof the targeting box.” Ex. 1001 at

`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

`the running average centroid location” Ex. 1013 at 21:9-1
