`

`slide from related IPR
`
`● Contrary to PO’s argument that a “pattern” cannot be represented by a
`“singular value,” there is no disclosure in the ‘761 patent about how
`many values are saved for any expected pattern or how the controller
`represents its determined pattern.
`*PO’s argument is a red herring because Quigley’s expected pattern
`consists of more than a “singular value”.

`● Severinsky’s control strategy switches
`modes based on road load (RL)

`Severinsky monitor road loads for patterns

`– Severinsky discloses that road load is determined “at all

`– Severinsky discloses determining road load experienced
`by the vehicle during, e.g., uphill and downhill driving
`conditions.
`– Those driving situations involve variations in road load.
