`Apple v. Masimo
`IPR2022-01291
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
` 896
`
`
` 1 Q. Could you please introduce yourself to Her Honor?
`
` 2 A. Absolutely. My name is Ueyn Block, and I work at
`
` 3 Apple.
`
` 4 Q. What is your educational background?
`
` 5 A. I have a Bachelor's degree in physics and
`
` 6 mathematics and then got a Master's and a Ph.D. degree in
`
` 7 applied physics at Stanford University.
`
` 8 Q. What did you do after you defended your
`
` 9 dissertation at Stanford?
`
` 10 A. I went from Stanford to a startup company working
`
` 11 on noninvasive biomedical optics devices and stayed there
`
` 12 for about six years.
`
` 13 Q. And after that what did you do?
`
` 14 A. I pursued a job at Apple and went directly from
`
` 15 that company to Apple.
`
` 16 Q. When did you join Apple?
`
` 17 A. I joined Apple in March of 2013.
`
` 18 Q. Why were you interested in working at Apple?
`
` 19 A. Basically I've been a longtime appreciator of the
`
` 20 company since using products dating back all the way to the
`
` 21 '80s, and for me it was some kind of a dream job. I had
`
` 22 actually tried to get a job there straight out of graduate
`
` 23 school but didn't have the right qualifications at that
`
` 24 time, so I eventually got there.
`
` 25 Q. Dr. Block, what products have you worked on
`

`
`

`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
` 897
`
`
` 1 during your time at Apple?
`
` 2 A. Primarily the Apple Watch since I first joined.
`
` 3 Q. Which versions of Apple Watch have you worked on?
`
` 4 A. All of them.
`
` 5 Q. Starting with the first Apple Watch, if I refer
`
` 6 to that as the Series 0, will you understand what I'm
`
` 7 talking about?
`
` 8 A. Yes.
`
` 9 Q. What were your responsibilities with respect to
`
` 10 the Series 0 Apple Watch?
`
` 11 A. When I started, we were at very early stages of
`
` 12 doing R&D and prototyping, and I was primarily working on
`
` 13 the overall optical architecture of the health sensors for
`
` 14 the Series 0 Apple Watch.
`
` 15 Q. And at a high level, what are the components that
`
` 16 are part of the optical sensors in Apple Watch Series 0?
`
` 17 A. Components such as the LEDs and photodiodes, the
`
` 18 windows and apertures in the back crystal, how they are all
`
` 19 arranged and how we create the overall optical architecture.
`
` 20 Q. Now, Dr. Block, next to you in the room is what
`
` 21 has been marked as RPX-5.
`
` 22 Do you see that?
`
` 23 A. Yes.
`
` 24 Q. Could you tell us what RPX-5 is? And if you
`
` 25 don't mind just holding it up.

`
`
` 1 A. So it's an enclosed Series 0 Apple Watch.
`
` 2 Q. And what -- excuse me. Strike that.
`
` 3 You referred to the back crystal a moment ago.
`
` 4 Using RPX-5, could you show Her Honor what the back crystal
`
` 5 on the Series 0 is?
`
` 6 A. Sure. So on the back of the watch, the watch has
`
` 7 this metal housing, the front has a display, on the rear
`
` 8 side there's a circular protruding dome, I'm going to try to
`
` 9 hold it close, that sticks out of the metal housing. This
`
` 10 circular dome is what we refer to as the back crystal on the
`
` 11 Series 0.
`
` 12 MS. FRAZIER: Your Honor, at this point I'd like
`
` 13 to go on the Apple confidential record.
`
` 14 (Whereupon, the hearing proceeded in confidential
`
` 15 session.)
