`a movement sensor capable of measuring data associated with unrestrained movement in any direction and
`generating signals indicative of said movement;
`a power source;
`
`a microprocessor connected to said movement sensor and to said power source,
`said microprocessor capable of receiving, interpreting, storing and responding to said movement data
`based on user-defined operational parameters,
`detecting a first user-defined event based on the movement data and at least one of the user-defined
`operational parameters regarding the movement data, and
`storing first event information related to the detected first user-defined event along with first time stamp
`information reflecting a time at which the movement data causing the first user-defined event occurred;
`at least one user input connected to said microprocessor for controlling the operation of said device;
`
`a real-time clock connected to said microprocessor;
`
`memory for storing said movement data; and
`
`an output indicator connected to said microprocessor for signaling the occurrence of user-defined events;
`[’136 Pat. at 8:36-57 (Pet. at 13-14)]

`But the relevant portion of the Petition does not
`mention “absolute motion of a person,” and
`discusses only 8:53-59 of Hutchings:
`Original argument:
`Original basis:
`“The linear accelerometers are
`configured to measure accelerations
`in three dimensions, along the
`direction of the foot as it travels
`during each step. Unit 50 may
`preferably contain rotational sensors
`employed to measure ϴx ϴy and ϴz
`signals. Thus the rotational sensors
`provide the angle of rotation along
`each axis of the translational
`coordinate.” (EX1102 at 8:53-59)
`
`“Ono-Hutchings’ movement sensor
`measures unrestrained movement in any
`direction through accelerometers that
`measure accelerations in three
`dimensions, and rotational sensors that
`provide the angle of rotation along each
`axis of the translational coordinate.
