`

`Ober Does Not Teach “A Plurality 
`Of Ordinary Operation Modes.”
`• The Petition relies only on the “divided clock signal” 
`for the claimed ordinary operation modes. Petition 
`at 24:

`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT ‐‐ NOT EVIDENCE
`

`
`

`

`Ober Does Not Teach “A Plurality 
`Of Ordinary Operation Modes.”
`• The “divided clock” signal does not “cause Ober’s 
`CPU clock to execute at various frequencies.”
`• All of the cited passages teach that Ober’s system clock 
`can be reduced in SLEEP mode. Ex. 2005 ¶ 78.
`• The CPU core is IDLE, i.e., stopped, during SLEEP. Ex. 
`1004 at 15:46‐51.
`
`• Therefore, there is no execution at various frequencies.

`

`Ober Does Not Teach “A Plurality

`• The system clock only transitions frequencies

`
`“Ober’s teaching that that divided clocks may be

`CPU core 22 does not have an SFR 116 to divide its

`
`Adding an SFR 116 to the CPU core 22 would cause
