`Extrinsic Support
`
`Plaintiff intends to rely on a sworn
`declaration of Dr. Jaime G. Carbonell to
`explain the technology, state of the art at

`ordinary skill in the relevant art, and the
`meaning of this claim element to a person
`of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`positions and evidence relied upon by
`Plaintiff and its experts in the related IPR
`proceedings.
`
`Governed by 35 U.S.C. § 112(6)
`
`Function: periodically resending said forced
`message alert to said recipient PDA/cell
`phones that have not automatically
`acknowledged the forced message alert
`
`Indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112(b)
`
`Structure: No sufficient corresponding
`structure disclosed. To the extent any
`structure is disclosed, it is a general purpose
`PDA or cell phone for implementing an
`undisclosed algorithm. The disclosures set
`forth at ’970 Patent at Figures 2, 3A, 3B,
