`State of the Art
`
`This paper presents the results of a preliminary study testing a self-setting
`continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. The device adjusts
`CPAP pressure on a minute-by-minute basis according to the degree of
`upper airway obstruction. This has several advantages. First, it would aid
`compliance by allowing a minimal awake pressure, and reduce pressure-
`related side effects by presenting a lower mean pressure. Second, by
`sensing the degree of partial obstruction, it would adjust to changing upper
`airway resistance produced by changing sleep state, posture, degree of
`nasal congestion, blood alcohol
`level, hormone status and sleep
`deprivation. This would improve on, and possibly do away with, the one-
`size-fits-all pressure determination night. Finally, by constantly recording
`respiratory parameters
`to memory,
`it would document
`long-term
`compliance and efficacy, aiding long-term management.

`Sullivan460 Discloses Determining Wake or Sleep States
`
`In a further embodiment, the treatment means may operate with two
`modes of delivery, a first mode for use when the patient is awake, and a
`second mode for use when the patient is asleep. In the first mode of air
`delivery, the treatment means provides a minimally intrusive air and
`pressure delivery to the patient, and hence is more comfortable. In the
`
`EX1006 (Sullivan460) at 7:30-34
`
`In another embodiment. the treatment means may additionally include
`a sleep sensor which senses whether or not the patient is asleep, and may
`also include a switching means which responds to the sleep sensor and
`automatically switches the treatment means between the two modes of air
`delivery. This embodiment addresses one of the key issues in treating blood

`

`Matthews Teaches Further Determining Troubled Wakefulness
`
`When
`a patient is awake, in REM sleep, or in distress, breathing
`tends to be more erratic and the Auto-CPAP trending
`becomes unstable. It is, therefore, important to interrupt the
`auto-CPAP controller if the patient's breathing pattern
`becomes too variable.

`Intrinsic Evidence - Specification
`Dependent claims do not require analysis of temporal structures
`The mask 20 covers the patient’s nose and/or mouth. Conventional flow
`sensors 23 are coupled to the tube 21. The sensors 23 detect the rate of
`airflow to/from patent and/or a pressure supplied to the patent by the
`generator 22. The sensors 23 may be internal or external to the generator
`22. Signals corresponding to the airflow and/or the pressure are provided to
`a processing arrangement 24 for processing.
`
`During the monitoring procedure, the processing arrangement 24 makes
`a determination as to a current state of the patient (e.g., whether the patient
`is asleep, awake and breathing regularly or awake and breathing irregularly
`due to distress or anxiousness). Such determination can be made based on a
`number of different measurements. For example, the processing
`arrangement 24 may analyze the patient's heart rate, blood pressure EEG
`data, breathing patterns, etc. in the determining the patient’s state.
`There are a number of characteristics of the patient's breathing patterns
`that may be taken into account in making such a determination. FIGS. 3
`and 4 show breathing patterns indicative of quiet, regular and relaxed
`breathing in a patient during the PAP therapy.

`

`Intrinsic Evidence - Specification
`Specification identifies patterns of troubled wakefulness and REM sleep
`Troubled Wakefulness:
`In contrast, the following exemplary characteristics may suggest that the
`patient is awake and anxious or distressed: pure mouth breathing (e.g., no
`signal from the sensors 23 which is configured to detect the patient's
`airflow from the nose); erratic large breaths with varying inspiratory times;
`irregularity of intervals between breaths (but not cyclic apneas which
`indicate Sleep and the need for higher pressure, etc).
`
`993 EX1001 (’994 Patent) at 4:20-27
`
`REM Sleep:
`This REM associated pattern of breathing may include, e.g., the absence of
`larger breaths, especially after pauses, generally high respiratory rates and
`low flow rates, and a tendency for clustering of small breaths. These
`differences in the pattern of the respiratory airflow signal from those seen
`during troubled wakefulness allow the separation of these states and can be
`used to make a change in the applied pressure.

`Intrinsic Evidence – Prosecution History
`Prosecution history does not require analysis of temporal structures
`
`Claim 9, as amended, recites "[a] system, comprising: a flow sensor provided in an
`airflow path and measuring data corresponding to a patient's breathing patterns; and a
`processing arrangement configured to analyze the breathing patterns to determine to which of
`the .following states the detected breathing pattern is indicative: (i) a REM sleep state, (ii) a
`non-troubled wake state, (iii) a non-REM sleep state and (iv) a troubled wakefulness state,
`and to adjust a pressure of an airflow supplied to an airway of the patient as a function of a
`state determined by the processing arrangement."
` As discussed above, Applicants respectfully submit that Burton does not teach or suggest
`a processing arrangement that distinguishes between regular wakefulness and troubled
`wakefulness. Rather, the "micro-arousals" cited by the Examiner refers to a light stage of
`sleep that is different from an awake or arousal state, and does not further identify whether
`the patient is anxious or uncomfortable. Therefore, Applicants respectfully submit that
`Burton does not does not teach or suggest a processing arrangement configured to determine
`"to which of the following states the detected breathing pattern is indicative: (i) a REM sleep
`state, (ii) a nontroubled wake state, (iii) a non-REM sleep state and (iv) a troubled
`wakefulness state." Therefore, Applicant respectfully submits that claim 9 is allowable over
`Burton. Because claims 8-14, 22 and 25-28 depend from and includes all of the elements of
`claim 9, it is respectfully submitted that the §103(a) rejection of these claims should also be
`withdrawn for at least the foregoing reasons.

`7, 9, 16 have approximately the same
`amplitude?
`A. Yes, with the emphasis on the word
`approximately because the vertical
`resolution of my plotting of the X’s is pretty
`crude. Again, I’m using it for illustrative
`purposes to illustrate the theory behind my
`thinking.

`

`PO’s Construction Contradicts the Intrinsic Evidence
`
`Dr. Bates’ inferences from exemplary figures do not limit the claim terms
`
`[M]ere inferences drawn from the description of an
`embodiment of the invention cannot serve to limit
`claim terms, as they are insufficient to require a
`narrower definition of a disputed term.

`
`

`

`PO’s Construction Contradicts the Intrinsic Evidence
`PO’s construction excludes breathing patterns in dependent claims
`’344 Patent, cls. 5, 15: “the breathing patterns that
`’009 Patent, cl. 24: “the processing arrangement
`are indicative of
`the troubled wakeful
`state
`determines that the patient transitions from the
`comprise one or more patterns selected from the
`awake state to the asleep state based on the indi-
`group consisting of (a) pure mouth breathing, (b)
`cation of the patient’s breathing patterns, wherein
`the indication of the patient’s breathing patterns is a
`erratic large breaths with varying inspiratory times,
`pattern of at least three obstructions.”
`and (c) irregularity of intervals between breaths.”
`
`Q. So if I have a system that detects pure
`mouth breathing, would that system be
`able to detect troubled wakefulness?
`A. Not necessarily. Pure mouth breathing is
`not a definition of troubled wakefulness. It
`may be associated with it. It may happen
`when the patient – what it says here is it
`may happen when the patient is awake,
`anxious or distressed.
`
`A.
`
`Q. So would three obstructive apnea events be
`a breathing pattern?
`It would not be a breathing pattern on its
`own because apnea events do not describe
`the way that air moves in and out of the
`lungs in any global sense. They simply say
`that air is not moving. An apnea is when air
`is not moving.

`PO’s Expert’s Concurrent Patent Confirms Plain Meaning
`
`Such a method currently does not exist, despite the widespread use
`of surrogates based purely on the measurement of the pattern of
`breathing (i.e., volume inspired per breath and rate of breathing).

`

`PO’s Sur-Reply Confirms that Temporal Analysis Unnecessary
`
`For instance, in differentiating between REM and wakefulness, two
`parameters include temporal structures (absence of larger breaths, especially
`after pauses; a tendency for clustering of small breaths) and two include
`amplitude structures (high respiratory rates and low flow rates).

`

`Dr. Kirkness Did Not Agree With PO’s Construction
`
`Kirkness agrees with this when he says:
`“troubled wakefulness as a state in which
`breathing pattern is characterized by
`irregularity variations in the size [an
`aspect of the amplitude structure of the
`time series] and/or frequency of breaths
`[an aspect of the temporal structure of
`the time series” [Kirkness deposition
`transcript, Vol. II, p. 147, lines 5-8].”

`Q.
`
`A.
`
` Would you agree that the last sentence on page 38
`is your characterization of Dr. Kirkness' testimony?
`I believe it is, yes, the parts in square brackets, yeah.
`It's a characterization of that part of his testimony.
`* * *
`Q. Did Dr. Kirkness ever expressly agree that identifying
`troubled wakefulness requires examining the
`amplitude and temporal structures of the breathing
`pattern over a sequence of breaths?
`A. What Dr. Kirkness said is said in the previous parts of
`that paragraph, the relevant parts of what he said.
`Q. You don't recall whether or not Dr. Kirkness ever
`used the words "amplitude" or "temporal," correct?
`I don't recall, no. I'm really sorry.
