`
` RUSSEL JACOB BAKER, Ph.D.,
`
` having been duly administered an oath over
`
` videoconference as stipulated by all counsel, was
`
` examined and testified as follows:
`
` EXAMINATION
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Baker.
`
` Can you state your name for the record.
`
` A. Good morning. My name is Russel,
`
` R-U-S-S-E-L, Jacob, J-A-C-O-B, Baker, B-A-K-E-R.
`
` Q. Dr. Baker, you submitted a declaration 09:02:40
`
` last year in support of TCT's petition against the
`
` '586 patent; correct?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to scope.
`
` THE WITNESS: If we are talking about
`
` Exhibit 1003, my original declaration, yes. 09:02:57
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Okay. And you submitted a second
`
` declaration a month ago; correct?
`
` A. Roughly, yes.
`
` Q. Okay. Is the second declaration 09:03:16

`
` accompanying the reply needed to support your
`
` unpatentability theory?
`
` MR. LANG: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I haven't really thought
`
` about that. I -- just sitting here right now, I 09:03:34
`
` would say no. I think my original declaration by
`
` itself supported my opinions that the patent was
`
` invalid, but I didn't form an opinion whether it
`
` was necessary for the second declaration. Rather,
`
` I was asked to supply a declaration -- a second 09:04:00
`
` declaration.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Okay. So the content of the declaration,
`
` is that based on your own determination or you
`
` were asked to provide opinions on specific topics? 09:04:13
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` And I'll instruct the witness not to
`
` disclose communication that you had with counsel.
`
` THE WITNESS: My second declaration was in
`
` response to Dr. Fernald's declaration and opinions. 09:04:35
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. And in your second declaration, you
`
` asserted that certain references disclose an
`
` identification signal that identifies a power
`
` source type. 09:04:58

`
`21
`
`22
`
`23
`
`24
`
`25
`
` Do you recall those testimony?
`
` A. Yes. For example, in paragraph 12 of my
`
` Declaration Exhibit 1026, I talk about how both
`
` Casebolt and Cypress disclose, using an
`
` identification signal, specifically an SE1 signal, 09:05:27
`
` to identify a power source type.
`
` Q. Anything that prevented you from providing
`
` that testimony in your original declaration?
`
` MR. LANG: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I believe I did. But if it 09:05:42
`
` would be helpful, I can go back and review my
`
` original declaration and point to specific places.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Sure.
`
` Tell me where exactly you said those ones 09:06:01
`
` identify a power source type.
`
` A. Well, for example, in paragraph 89, I talk
`
` about Casebolt and other references. And
`
` specifically I provide Table 1, which shows that
`
` when an SE1 signal is present that is both data 09:07:17
`
` lines or high, that either a USB power source or a
`
` PS/2 power source would be present.
`
` I also talk about --
`
` Q. Hold on.
`
` A. -- power -- 09:07:35

`

`

`
` with your answer?
`
` MS. ZHONG: No.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Dr. Baker -- 09:08:07
`
` THE WITNESS: You know what, I'm not
`
` finished. But, I mean, I already answered the
`
` question of where Casebolt, for example, points out
`
` the power source type.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG: 09:08:16
`
` Q. Where is the word "power source type" you
`
` refer --
`
` A. In Exhibit 1003 is on page --
`
` (Simultaneous speaking.)
`
` (Interruption in audio/video.)
`
` THE COURT REPORTER: Wait. I can't hear.
`
` THE WITNESS: -- 41 at the top, in Table 1
`
` where both -- the data lines are high indicates
`
` that the USB is an SE1 signal. And that would
`
` confirm that the power source is a PS/2 type. 09:08:31

`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Where does the word "power source type"
`
` appear in this paragraph? Point me to the 09:08:46
`
` particular line -- the words.
`
` MR. LANG: Objection. Asked and answered.
`
` MS. ZHONG: That's an improper objection,
`
` and that's coaching the witness.
`
` So, Mr. Lang, please comply with the trial 09:08:57
`
` practices.
`
` MR. LANG: Ms. Zhong, you made the same
`
` objections last time, and you're telling -- is it
`
` your position that you don't have to let the
`
` witness finish his answer. Because we can -- we 09:09:10
`
` can e-mail the Board.
`
` I just want to know your position. Is it
`
` your position that you don't have to let the
`
` witness --
`
` MS. ZHONG: My position -- 09:09:15
`
` (Simultaneous speaking.)
`
` (Interruption in audio/video.)
`
` MR. LANG: You're not letting me ask the
`
` question. Please let me ask the question. And I
`
` want this on the record clearly so we can point the 09:09:19

`
` Board to this specific place.
`
` Is it your position, Ms. Zhong, that you
`
` do not need to let the witness finish the answer?
`
` MS. ZHONG: You did the same with
`
` Dr. Fernald last time when you feel that he is 09:09:33
`
` getting off track.
`
` So I'm doing exactly the same so that the
`
` witness is answering the question that I posed.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. So, Dr. Baker -- 09:09:42
`
` MR. LANG: I disagree -- no, I disagree
`
` with that, and I'm going to --
`
` MS. ZHONG: I'm sorry, you -- you can --
`
` you have the option to redirect. I mean, you don't
`
` have the opportunity to disrupt my question. 09:09:48
`
` MR. LANG: Let me make sure this is on the
`
` realtime.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. So, Dr. Baker, paragraph 89, point me to
`
` the exact [verbatim], where you said the "power 09:09:59
`
` source type." Where do those words appear?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: If the question is, do the
`
` words "power source" appear in paragraph 89, the
`
` answer is I do not see them. 09:10:14

`
` I simply was answering the question of
`
` where does the power source appear in the
`
` information which is in Table 1, for example, where
`
` the power source is either USB or PS/2.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG: 09:10:29
`
` Q. Okay. And in paragraph 125, the other
`
` place that you point to, where does [verbatim] the
`
` word "power source type"?
`
` A. I was pointing to paragraph 113.
`
` Q. Okay. So in paragraph 113, where -- where 09:10:43
`
` does the word "power source type" appear in
`
` Casebolt?
`
` A. The words "power source" appear in the
`
` second-from-the-last sentence. There isn't the
`
` word "power source" or the string of words "power 09:10:59
`
` source type" that I can see.
`
` Q. Okay. And paragraph 113, 1-1-3,
`
` X discusses Morita; is that correct?
`
` (Interruption in audio/video.)
`
` THE COURT REPORTER: I'm sorry, I couldn't 09:11:11
`
` hear you, Counsel. Could you please repeat.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Paragraph 113, that seems to be discussing
`
` Morita rather than Casebolt; is that correct?
`
` A. Yes. 09:11:23

`
`25
`
` Q. Okay. So where else in your declaration
`
` that you discuss Casebolt discloses "power source
`
` type," where those words appear in the
`
` declaration?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form. 09:11:38
`
` THE WITNESS: The only power source types
`
` that I discussed with Casebolt would be in the
`
` discussion associated with Casebolt.
`
` If you're looking for the specific words
`
` "power source type," those three words in a row, I 09:11:53
`
` don't believe I used those to describe Casebolt.
`
` Rather, I simply pointed to the power source type
`
` as being USB or PS/2.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Okay. How about Kerai? Where did you 09:12:10
`
` specifically use the words "power source type" in
`
` connection respect to Kerai?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: In Exhibit 1003, I just did
`
` a search of the PDF for the three words in series, 09:12:27
`
` "power source type," and I did not see them.
`
` I did discuss the power source type. I
`
` just didn't use the words in series like you're
`
` asking me.

`
` connect Zyskowski was a power source type;
`
` correct?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form. 09:12:57
`
` THE WITNESS: No, in all of these I
`
` absolutely did talk about the power source type. I
`
` simply didn't use those three words in series in my
`
` declaration because I didn't think it was
`
` necessary. 09:13:09
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. So for Zyskowski, what power source type
`
` were you pointing to?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: So I discuss this in 09:13:24
`
` paragraph 124 of my original declaration, which we
`
` talked about last time I was deposed in this
`
` matter.
`
` And I will open Exhibit 1026 and go to
`
` Zyskowski, and I talk about something similar in 09:14:34
`
` paragraph -- around paragraph 29, for example, or
`
` paragraph 30, how, when both the voltages on Data
`
` Paths D2 and D1 go high, that Zyskowski talks about
`
` how that can be used to identify the high power
`
` mode or, Zyskowski's language, full-power state. 09:15:14

`

`
` THE WITNESS: If I understand the

`
` or high-power source that can provide a -- a
`
` full-power state and one that's a low-power source, 09:15:48
`

`

`
` inside of Zyskowski that you're talking about?

` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. The device that you say is detecting these
`
` voltage on the data lines. 09:17:16
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Let me -- so for that device, is it
`
` connected to the same power circuit, but different

` power circuit in Zyskowski? 09:17:34
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.

`
` Data Paths D1 and D2." [As read]
`
` And then it goes on to say that "When the
`
` Host 104 is in a full-power state, data lines D1 09:19:17
`
` and D2 may be raised to a predefined DC voltage,
`
` for example 5 volts." [As read]
`
` And then in parentheses, it says, "Systems
`
` operating at lower voltages might raise the data
`
` paths to 3 volts or 2 volts or even less." 09:19:38
`
` So to answer your question, the host is
`
` being connected to a USB device in Zyskowski.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Okay. And that Device 106 is connected to
`
` the host spent by a power source; is that correct? 09:19:55
`
` A. I didn't hear the last part of the
`
` question or just the words preceding "power
`
` source." Would you mind repeating.
`
` Q. So Device 106 is connected to the
`
` upgrading power from the host stem by power 09:20:19
`
` source; is that correct?
`
` A. I -- I still don't understand the
`
` question. The Device 106 is connected to the
`
` host, and the host can have a full-power state or
`
` a reduced-power state. 09:20:40

`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG: 09:20:56
`
` Q. Or you've never considered that question?
`
` That's fine, too.
`
` A. I don't think that I can answer that
`
` question simply because while the USB device may
`
` be able to recognize a full-power or low-power 09:21:08
`
` state of the host it's connected to, it might, for
`
` example, have some other source of power, like a
`
` battery that it's connected to that it draws power
`
` from.
`
` What the USB Host 106 is getting or 09:21:25
`
` determining by looking at the SE1, the data lines
`
` D1 and D2 in Zyskowski, is the -- is the host in a
`
` reduced power state where it can't supply a lot of
`
` current, or is it in a full power where it can
`
` supply more current. 09:21:49
`
` Q. So you don't think Zyskowski has touched
`
` up on that topic, correct, as to where the device
`
` is drawing power from in the full-power state and
`
` the reduced-power state ; correct?

`
` THE WITNESS: That's not what I testified.
`
` What I testified was in response to your
`
` question related to Zyskowski only being -- or
`
` taking Zyskowski's device, USB Device 106, only
`
` getting power from the host. I mean, I think that 09:22:20
`
` it's possible that may be the case and very
`
` reasonably that would be the case, but I don't
`
` think it's relevant to the fact that Zyskowski
`
` teaches that the USB Device 106 can detect whether
`
` it's connected to a full power source in the host 09:22:37
`
` or a reduced power state in the host and then pull
`
` power accordingly.
`
` THE COURT REPORTER: Excuse me, Counsel,

`
` What is being taught in Zyskowski is that
`
` the USB Device 106 is determining whether it's
`
` connected to a host that can supply power to it as
`
` a full-power state or a reduced-power state. 09:26:04
`
` And it does so by looking at the voltages
`
` on both data lines. When both voltages on each
`
` data line are high, it determines that the host is
`
` a full-power state, and thus it can take more power
`
` from the host. 09:26:20
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. So is it your opinion that Zyskowski's
`
` full-power state is when Device 106 connected to
`
` the host's primary power source and the
`
` reduced-power state is when Device 106 connected 09:26:39
`
` to the host's standby power source?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I mean, if you're asking
`
` what's detailed in paragraph 18, Zyskowski talks
`
` about USB devices deriving power from the primary 09:27:05
`
` power source of the host or deriving power from the
`
` standby power source.
`
` If that's what you're referring to, I
`
` mean, the -- Zyskowski says what it says in
`
` paragraph 18. 09:27:29

`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. What does it say?
`
` A. Well, for example, one of the sentences in
`
` paragraph 18 is, and I'll read it, "Device 106 may
`
` derive operating power from Power Path S from Host 09:27:41
`
` 104." [As read]
`
` Then the following sentence says, "Unlike
`
` conventional USB devices which may derive power
`
` form the primary power source of the Host" 106 --
`
` "Host 104, Device 106 may derive power from the 09:28:00
`
` host's standby power source via Path S." [As read]
`
` Q. And so does Zyskowski teach us that in the
`
` full-power state the device derives host's --
`
` der- -- deri- -- derives power from the host's
`
` primary power source and in a reduced-power state 09:28:30
`
` it derives power from a standby power source?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I think you're tying --
`
` trying to tie full power and reduced power back to
`
` the source of power. And if you point me to where 09:28:56
`
` that discussion is in Zyskowski, I'll review it.
`
` But just sitting here, right now I don't
`
` see it. What Zyskowski is talking about in
`
` paragraph 18, just as a general overview, is the
`
` type of power sources that a connected USB -- USB 09:29:14

`
` device may derive power from.
`
` And then in paragraph 19 is a separate
`
` discussion talking about how a connected USB device
`
` can determine whether it's connected to a -- a host
`
` that is in a full-power state or reduced-power 09:29:34
`
` state.
`
` But, again, if you tie the -- the
`
` connection between the power states to the power
`
` sources, I'll review and perhaps I can answer the
`
` questions. 09:29:52
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. So you have reviewed Zyskowski many times;
`
` correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And based on your careful review of the 09:30:03
`
` Zyskowski reference, does Zyskowski connect its
`
` full-power state with one power source and the
`
` reduced-power state with another power source?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Zyskowski, in paragraph 6, 09:30:23

`
` 106 in accordance with paragraph 18, for example,
`
` does it provide Device 106 -- let me withdraw and
`
` ask. 09:31:33
`
` In paragraph 18, Zyskowski is saying that
`
` in conventional USB device -- devices -- let me --
`
` in conventional USB systems, the device will --
`
` was -- was -- will derive power from the primary
`
` source, but its invention is different in that its 09:31:57

`
` THE WITNESS: It says -- and I'm not

`
` to answer.
`
` In paragraph 18 it talks about
`
` conventional USB devices being powered by either a

` host primary power source or a host standby power
`
` source. 09:32:59
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. It says, "Unlike conventional USB devices,

`
` power source and the reduced-power state to the
`
` standby power source; is that correct? 09:33:40
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Well, the last sentence in
`
` paragraph 18 says, "Thus, even when the Host 104
`
` has entered a reduced power state in which primary
`
` power source is cut off, Device 106 may" be 09:34:25
`
` brought -- "may derive operating power from the
`
` host standby power source." [As read]
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. Does it say which power source Device 106
`
` derived power from in the full-power state? 09:34:42
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: It says that the host is in
`
` a reduced power state. The Device 106, the USB
`
` device, is deriving power from the host standby
`
` power source, but it doesn't say that when it's in 09:35:12
`
` a full-power state, it derives power from the
`
` host's primary power source. I don't see
`
` "full-power state" in paragraph 118.

`
` So Zyskowski does not disclose that Device
`
` 106 derives operating power from the host's
`
` primary source in the full-power state and derive 09:35:54
`
` operating power from the host's standby power --
`
` power source in the reduced-power state; is that
`
` correct?
`
` A. No.
`
` Q. Which part do you disagree with? 09:36:09
`
` A. The last paragraph -- or the last sentence
`
` of paragraph 18 says that the Device 106 derives
`
` power from the host's standby power source when
`
` it's in -- when the host has entered a reduced
`
` power state. 09:36:35
`
` Q. Okay. But this one does not say whether
`
` the device is deriving power from the standby
`
` power source or the primary power source in the
`
` full state; is that correct?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form. 09:36:50

` "prior to or at the onset of communication over
`
` the" date -- "data lines, charging functionality
`
` can terminate." [As read]
`
` So in that case, the power source for
`
` charging would terminate, and normal 09:39:22
`
` communications over the data lines can start.
`
` Q. Does that tell you what kind of power
`
` source type the device is connected to?
`
` MR. LANG: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: So when you say "power 09:39:43
`
` source type," I -- I don't again know what the
`
` relevance of that is. In my mind, I'm thinking
`
` you're talking about whether the power source is
`
` coming from a [verbatim] AC wall outlet or a power
`
` supply in a computer or batteries or some sort of 09:39:59

` power source type.
`
` I'm not following how that's linked to the
`
` disclosure that Kerai and Zyskowski and Casebolt
`
` and Cypress talk about, which provides an
`
` identification to a connected USB device that it 09:40:21
`
` can provide higher power or not.
`
` BY MS. ZHONG:
`
` Q. What's your understanding of a signal that
`
` identifies a power source type?
`
` A. Well, in Zyskowski, for example, it 09:40:47
`
` teaches that when the Data Paths D1 and D2 are
`
` raised to a predefined DC voltage, that the
`
` connected USB device can identify the host as a
`
` full power source or the host is in a full-power
`
` state, else the host is in a reduced power state. 09:41:11
