`
`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 has included a chart below identifying specifically where each element of each asserted claim of the ‘172 Patent is found
`within Defendant’s air mattress systems that utilize the Platinum 5000 and Platinum 6000 air controllers. Because the Platinum 6000 is representative
`of the Platinum 5000, both products are generally depicted using a Platinum 6000 product below. 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.

`INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`The preamble of claim 2 is limiting and under the plain and ordinary meaning of these claim terms in
`light of the specification, each claim limitation is met by Sizewise’s Accused Products. Specifically,
`the Platinum 5000 or Platinum 6000 Air Controllers (herein collectively “Platinum 5000/6000”)
`include an improved valve enclosure assembly for use with an air inflatable mattress having at least
`one air bladder inflated by compressed air, a pump fluidly coupled to the at least one air bladder for
`providing compressed air thereto, and a processor for providing commands to the improved valve
`enclosure assembly during an inflate/deflate cycle, the improved valve enclosure assembly being
`fluidly coupled intermediate the pump and the at least one air bladder for controlling the inflation of
`the at least one air bladder.
`
`The Accused Products having a Platinum 5000/6000 air controller include an improved valve
`enclosure assembly for use with an air inflatable mattress having at least one air bladder inflated by
`compressed air:

`being in fluid communication with the at

`
`
`INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`The “pressure monitor means” is a means-plus-function limitation subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. §
`112, ¶ 6. The function is continuously monitoring the pressure in the at least one bladder. The
`structure is a port fluidly coupled to the interior of the valve enclosure assembly that is designed to
`receive a tube, a pressure sensor, and a tube connected to the port and to the pressure sensor, and
`equivalents thereof. Under this construction, and where the other claim terms are given their plan and
`ordinary meaning in light of the specification, the Platinum 5000/6000 air controllers include a
`pressure monitor means being operably coupled to the processor and being in fluid communication
`with the at least one bladder for continuously monitoring the pressure in the at least one bladder.
`
`The Platinum 5000/6000 air controllers have a valve enclosure assembly with tubes to convey
`pressure information from a tap or port on the enclosure to substantially similar pressure sensors on a
`printed circuit board.
`
`Specifically, the Platinum 5000/6000 air controllers include an enclosure having a pressure
`monitoring port, which is capable of being in fluid communication with an air chamber located within
`an interior of the enclosure. As seen in the photograph below, a tube is connected to the pressure
`monitoring port. The tube is also connected to a pressure sensor. In addition, as discussed above, the
`pressure in the one or more air bladders is conveyed to the valve enclosure assembly via the tubing
`that fluidly couples the enclosure to the air bladder(s). Accordingly, the bladder pressure is conveyed
`to the pressure sensor from the enclosure via the tubing connected to the pressure monitoring port and
`pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is operatively coupled to a processor. The processor is configured
`to monitor the pressure detected by the pressure sensor.

`
`The pressure monitor means is capable of being in fluid communication with the at least one bladder
`and configured to or capable of continuously monitoring the pressure in the at least one bladder.
`Because, as explained above, tubing connects the pressure sensor(s) to the pressure monitoring port(s)
`on the enclosure, the pressure sensor is in fluid communication with the enclosure. In addition, as seen
`below, because the tubing that attaches to the ports to the air bladder(s) fluidly couples the enclosure
`to the air bladder(s), the valve enclosure assembly is in fluid communication with the air bladder(s).
`Accordingly, the pressure sensor is in or capable of being in fluid communication with the air
`bladder(s) and the pressure sensor and the processor are therefore configured to or capable of
`continuously monitoring the pressure in the air bladder(s).

`Claim 6
`[6.P] An improved valve enclosure
`assembly for use with an air inflatable
`mattress having at least one air bladder
`inflated by compressed air, a pump fluidly
`coupled to the at least one air bladder for
`providing compressed air thereto, and a
`processor for providing commands to the
`improved valve enclosure assembly
`during an inflate/deflate cycle, the
`improved valve enclosure assembly being
`fluidly coupled intermediate the pump and
`the at least one air bladder for controlling
`the inflation of the at least one air bladder,
`comprising:

`
`information learned during the inspection.
`
`The preamble of claim 6 is limiting and under the plain and ordinary meaning of these claim terms in
`light of the specification, each claim limitation is met by Sizewise’s Accused Products. Specifically,
`the Platinum 5000 or Platinum 6000 Air Controllers (herein collectively “Platinum 5000/6000”)
`include an improved valve enclosure assembly for use with an air inflatable mattress having at least
`one air bladder inflated by compressed air, a pump fluidly coupled to the at least one air bladder for
`providing compressed air thereto, and a processor for providing commands to the improved valve
`enclosure assembly during an inflate/deflate cycle, the improved valve enclosure assembly being
`fluidly coupled intermediate the pump and the at least one air bladder for controlling the inflation of
`the at least one air bladder.
`
`
`The Accused Products having a Platinum 5000/6000 air controller include an improved valve
`enclosure assembly for use with an air inflatable mattress having at least one air bladder inflated by
`compressed air:

`
`In the Platinum 5000/6000 air controllers, the pump is fluidly coupled to the at least one air bladder
`for providing compressed air thereto. In the Platinum 5000/6000 air controllers, the improved valve
`enclosure assembly is fluidly coupled intermediate the pump and the at least one air bladder for
`controlling the inflation of the at least one air bladder. As shown in the photographs below, the pump
`is fluidly coupled to the valve enclosure assembly via tubing. The valve enclosure assembly is then
`similarly fluidly coupled to the at least one air bladder with tubing that connects to a manifold of the
`valve enclosure assembly. The pump provides compressed air to the at least one air bladder via the
`tubing between the pump and the valve enclosure assembly and the tubing between the valve
`enclosure assembly and the air bladder.

`
`As shown in the example above of a Platinum air controller being used with an inflatable air matress,
`the tubes fluidly couple the valve enclosure assembly to the air bladders of the inflatable air matress.
`Because the pump is fluidly coupled to the air bladder, the air bladders inflate using the compressed
`air from the pump to the valve enclosure assembly.
`
`In the Platinum 5000/6000 air controllers, a processor provides commands to the improved valve
`enclosure assembly during an inflate/deflate cycle:
