`
`Pursuant to P.R. 3-1(c) and the Joint Stipulation Regarding Amending Infringement and Invalidity Contention (-356 case, Dkt. 138; -357
`case, Dkt. 137), Plaintiff provides the chart below identifying specifically where each element of each asserted claim of the ‘172 Patent is found
`within Defendant’s consumer and/or medical air mattress systems that utilize the Gen 3 Arco, Gen 3 Koge, and Gen X air controllers. Specifically,
`Plaintiff provides the following supplementation, which includes prior disclosures and supplementations provided to Defendants on September 7,
`November 16, and November 26, 2018; (2) adds to and/or clarifies contentions, where appropriate; and (3) adds variable names, written
`descriptions/summaries of Plaintiff’s infringement position in light of the identified variables, and narrowed line number ranges where
`able/appropriate. These disclosures incorporate by reference the Representative Product Chart, served herewith. Further, these disclosures are made
`in light of foreseeable claim construction positions, are not to be construed as an acceptance or endorsement of any particular construction, and may
`be amended pursuant to P.R. 3-6(a)(1). Plaintiff reserves the right to amend this chart after Defendant meaningfully responds to discovery requests by
`making a fulsome document production, including by producing documents that disclose all of Defendant’s products and by providing all of
`Defendants’ products for inspection. Plaintiff further reserves the right to amend this chart after Defendant allows for a sufficient inspection of all
`relevant Source Code, pursuant to stipulations between the parties.

`As shown in the example of a Gen 3 air controller being used with an inflatable air matress, the two
`tubes that fluidly couple to the valve enclosure assembly fluidly couple to the air bladders of the
`inflatable air matress. Because the pump is fluidly coupled to the air bladder, the air bladders inflate

`When the Gen 3 and Gen X air controllers inflate the one or more air bladders, the pump, tubing that
`connects the pump to the air inlet, air chamber, and tubing connecting the air chamber to the one or
`more air bladders creates a substantially fluidly sealed environment substantially fluidly sealing the air
`chamber. That is, the enclosure contains several fluid tight seals and the tubing connecting the air
`bladders and pump to the enclosure creates a fluidly sealed environment such that the air chamber
`defined by the enclosure is substantially fluidly sealed. To the extent this limitation is not literally
`present the limitation is met under the doctrine of equivalents because the substantially fluidly sealed
