`
`
`1.
`
`I, Mohamed Diab, am making this declaration at the request of Patent
`
`Owner Masimo Corporation (“Masimo”) in the matters of the Inter Partes Review
`
`Nos. IPR2022-01299 and IPR2022-01300 of U.S. Patent No. 7,761,127 (“the ’127
`
`patent”). I understand that Apple submitted the ’127 patent as Exhibit 1001 in these
`
`proceedings. The ’127 patent describes and claims the invention that came out of
`
`our development of
`
`a
`
`sensor
`
`capable of noninvasively measuring
`
`carboxyhemoglobin. I understand that this declaration is being submitted in each of
`
`these proceedings as Exhibit 2002.
`
`2.
`
`I gave deposition and hearing testimony in an ITC Investigation in
`
`which Masimo asserts the ’127 patent and other patents against Apple. My
`
`testimony in this declaration is similar to my testimony in the ITC Investigation.
`
`3.
`
`I started as an engineer at Masimo. My current position at Masimo is
`
`fellow scientist. I started working at Masimo in 1989 and have worked there ever
`
`since.
`
`4.
`
`In 1986, I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a Bachelor of
`
`Science degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis on computer engineering.
`
`5.
`
`In the 1990s, I and the other engineers at Masimo were working on our
`
`first pulse oximeter. I was involved in the hardware design, the sensor design, and

`the algorithm design. The algorithm takes the signal from the sensor and calculates
`
`pulse rate, oxygen saturation, and other parameters.
`
`6.
`
`A pulse oximeter is a device that noninvasively measures physiological
`
`parameters in a patient’s blood by transmitting light into a tissue site (such as a
`
`finger) and measuring the light after it has passed through the tissue. Figure 1 of the
`
`’127 patent depicts a pulse oximeter with a sensor attached to a patient’s finger.
`
`7.
`
`In a typical pulse oximeter, the sensor that attaches to a patient’s finger
`
`contains: (1) two light sources, generally light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and (2) a
`
`sensor with a light detector (generally a photodetector). Top and bottom views of a
`
`
`
`Masimo rainbow® sensor are shown below.

`
`Oxygen saturation (“SpO2”) is a parameter measured noninvasively by
`
`pulse oximeters. For an oxygen-saturation measurement, the LEDs typically
`
`transmit red and infrared light into the patient’s finger. Some of the transmitted light
`
`is absorbed by the tissue and pulsating blood flow in the finger. Bright red
`
`oxygenated blood absorbs light differently than blue-green tinted deoxygenated
`
`blood. The light detector measures the intensity of the light (i.e., amplitude) from
`
`both wavelengths after it passes through the tissue. The ratio of the amplitude of the
`
`measured pulsating intensity of the light detected at the red wavelength compared to
`
`light detected at the infrared wavelength indicates the level of oxygen saturation.
`
`Therefore, for pulse oximetry, the amplitude of each signal is crucial. Assuring the
`
`amplitude of each signal is accurately processed is very different and much more
`
`difficult than detecting a pulse for pulse rate. For pulse rate detection, a device need
`
`have only one LED and measure the time it takes a signal to fluctuate over a cycle.

`9. Masimo has become a leading innovator in pulse oximeters that
`
`measure oxygen saturation. I and other engineers at Masimo are inventors on
`
`hundreds of patents for oxygen-saturation measurement using pulse oximeters. For
`
`example, we were the first to develop pulse oximeters that could accurately measure
`
`oxygen saturation while a patient is moving.
`
`10. Masimo’s pulse-oximetry algorithms were already extremely accurate
`
`in measuring oxygen saturation before the ’127 patent invention. In fact, Masimo’s
`
`pulse oximeters do not use the invention claimed in the ’127 patent to measure
`
`oxygen saturation.
`
`11.
`
`In about 2001, we started a project at Masimo to work on noninvasively
`
`measuring carboxyhemoglobin and other parameters within the hemoglobin species.
`
`The parameters within the hemoglobin species include oxyhemoglobin (blood
`
`oxygen saturation), carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, and total hemoglobin.
`
`These parameters are much more difficult to measure noninvasively than the
`
`parameters traditionally measured by pulse oximetry.
`
`12. When carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin, it displaces the oxygen
`
`and will not let the oxygen bind with hemoglobin for many hours to come. Thus, it
`
`turns the hemoglobin into a dysfunctional hemoglobin, causing carbon monoxide
`
`poisoning.

`13. Firefighters are exposed to carbon monoxide and, thus, can suffer from
`
`carbon monoxide poisoning. People that are exposed to furnaces or similar
`
`appliances lacking good combustion can also get carbon monoxide poisoning.
`
`14. Carbon monoxide poisoning is very hard to diagnose because it looks
`
`like a flu. When people with high carbon monoxide poisoning go to the hospital,
`
`they look bright red and look like they have a flu.
`
`15. Thus, the noninvasive measurement of carboxyhemoglobin was a
`
`sought-after measurement to allow for early detection and treatment of carbon
`
`monoxide poisoning. Before our invention of the ’127 patent, no company had been
`
`able to noninvasively measure carboxyhemoglobin. To this day, no other company
`
`offers a competitive product.
`
`16. When Masimo started researching noninvasive measurement of
`
`carboxyhemoglobin, we looked into how carboxyhemoglobin interacts with light
`
`propagating through the tissue. I spent quite a bit of time looking into the theory
`
`behind it. Then, we conducted computer simulations trying to understand whether
`
`we could build a device that could measure carboxyhemoglobin in the tissue
`
`noninvasively, with reasonable accuracy that is relevant to the field. These
`
`simulations took about a year.

`17. The result of these simulations is that we found that we could
`
`noninvasively measure carboxyhemoglobin. We also found that we could measure
`
`methemoglobin and total hemoglobin as well.
`
`18. After I had worked on carboxyhemoglobin measurement for about two
`
`years, Marcelo Lamego and others joined me on the rainbow® team. The name
`
`rainbow® came from the number of colors, or wavelengths, of light emitted by the
`
`LEDs needed in the sensor. Typically, Masimo’s pulse oximeters that measure
`
`oxygen saturation use two LEDs with two wavelengths of light. Because the
`
`carboxyhemoglobin sensors used eight or more wavelengths, we called them
`
`rainbow® sensors.

`
`I did a calculation and showed that, given the light absorption curve of
`
`carboxyhemoglobin, the LED being off by one and a half nanometers explained the
`
`bias in the sensor. We then started thinking about ways we could compensate for
`
`the LED wavelength shift.
`
`29. One cause of LED wavelength shift is the LED heating up. While the
`
`eye may see an LED as having a single color or wavelength, such as red, the LED
`
`wavelength has an emission spectrum that looks like a bell curve when measured
`
`using a device called a spectrophotometer. The emission spectrum has a peak and
`
`can be characterized by a weighted average called a centroid.
`
`30.
`
`If an LED heats up, which typically happens when an LED turns on,
`
`the peak, as well as the centroid, shifts to longer wavelengths. A mere increase of
`
`10 degrees Celsius in the LED temperature, which happens regularly when an LED
`
`is turned on, can cause a 2nm shift in the wavelength. If this shift is not corrected it

`will render a carboxyhemoglobin measurement useless. We needed a technique that
`
`can calculate or adjust for that wavelength shift. We considered many techniques.
`
`31. We had previously designed a wavelength detector. Exhibit 2026 is a
`
`true and correct copy of an earlier Masimo patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,758,644)
`
`describing measuring LED wavelengths in real time without using a temperature
`
`sensor for the measurement, as shown in the patent figures below:
`
`
`
`EX2026, Figs. 7, 9B. One embodiment described in that patent uses two
`
`photodiodes, a beam splitter, and an integrating optical sphere to determine the
`
`operating wavelengths of LEDs. Id., 20:9-28. However, this system was too
`
`unwieldy to implement in a small device such as the rainbow® sensors.
`
`32. We also thought we needed to know the junction temperature of the
`
`LED to calculate the wavelength. The junction temperature of the LED is the
`
`temperature at a location in the middle of the LED called the p-n junction. The LED
`
`has two different materials called p and n, and the junction between them is the p-n
`
`junction. If the junction temperature of an LED can be measured, the LED’s

`
`
`IPR2022-01299 & IPR2022-01300
`Apple Inc. v. Masimo Corp.
`operating wavelength can be calculated. We initially thought that measuring the
`
`LED junction temperature to calculate the LED operating wavelength was
`
`conceptually the simplest and most straightforward solution to wavelength shift.
`
`33. However, we found that it was impractical to measure the LED junction
`
`temperature. It is very difficult to locate, at the p-n junction of an LED, a
`
`temperature sensor that can measure the LED junction temperature while a sensor in
`
`a very small device is in operation. Because each LED has a different junction
`
`temperature depending on the p-n junction type and the amount of energy pumped
`
`into the LED, it would have been even more complicated and impractical to use
`
`multiple temperature sensors to measure each LED junction temperature of the
`
`multiple LEDs of the rainbow® sensors. Furthermore, in a sensor, the LED junction
`
`temperature is not fixed rather dynamic. Our tests showed that it is influenced by
`
`the ambient as well as the patient body temperatures. This implies that each LED’s
`
`wavelength is also dynamic and must be measured in real time in order to correct for
`
`errors in the final physiologic parameter measurement.
`
`34. Therefore, we explored many different techniques. Eventually we
`
`thought that maybe a single thermistor could measure temperature of a thermal mass
`
`to which the LEDs are thermally bonded, and that we could use the measured
`
`temperature to estimate the operating wavelengths of each of the LEDs.

`35. Eventually, we were able to design a thermal mass and measure the
`
`temperature of the thermal mass to reliably estimate the operating wavelengths of
`
`the LEDs. We initially formed the thermal mass from four internal copper layers of
`
`the substrate. The copper layers were thermally connected to the LEDs and a
`
`temperature sensor. The temperature sensor measured the temperature of the
`
`thermal mass. We used the measured temperature to estimate the LED wavelengths.
`
`When we used this technique with a properly designed thermal mass, the error
`
`dropped dramatically.
`
`36.
`
`I was initially skeptical that a thermal mass could be properly designed
`
`so that the temperature of the thermal mass could be used to reliably estimate the
`
`operating wavelengths of multiple dissimilar LEDs. This technique had not been
`
`done before and had not been shown to work. Further, I knew that the measured
`
`temperature of the thermal mass would not be the LED junction temperature and
`
`would never match the LED junction temperature. I also knew that each LED would
`
`have a different junction temperature and a different wavelength variation with
`
`temperature. Therefore, a single temperature measurement could not possibly match
`
`all of the junction temperatures. However, by calibrating each LED wavelength
`
`against the temperature of the thermal mass we were able to reliably estimate
`
`multiple LED wavelengths. I was pleasantly surprised by how accurately we could
`
`predict the operating wavelength of each LED of the rainbow® sensor.

`
`43. As shown, the temperature of the thermal mass is stabilized and follows
`
`along with the temperature of the LED, while maintaining a delta (difference in
`
`temperature) in between. The maintenance of this delta between the thermal mass
`
`and the LED means that the thermal mass, as measured by the thermistor, does not
`
`actually match the temperature of the LED. However, the thermistor-measured
`
`temperature of the thermal mass is correlated with the temperature of the LED so
`
`that the temperature of the thermal mass can be used to reliably estimate the
`
`operating wavelength of the LED.
`
`44. The actual rainbow® sensors have multiple LEDs but a single
`
`thermistor that measures the temperature of a single thermal mass. The temperatures
`
`of the LEDs differ from each other and from the temperature of the thermal mass.

`However, the single thermistor-measured temperature of the thermal mass correlates
`
`with the LED temperature, and, thus, can be used to reliably estimate the operating
`
`wavelengths of the multiple LEDs.
`
`45. The temperature of the thermal mass, or the temperatures of the LEDs,
`
`do not remain constant. As the graph above shows, the LED temperature naturally
`
`rises after the LED is turned on. Further, the thermal mass temperature naturally
`
`follows (but is not equal to) the LED temperature as heat is distributed from the LED
`
`into the thermal mass. In addition, the thermal mass temperature is different from
`
`LED temperature and sits on top of the environment temperature, 300 Kelvin in the
`
`above simulation. And in the multi-LED rainbow® sensors, the temperatures of the
`
`LEDs are different from each other. Therefore, temperature stabilization in the ’127
`
`patent is not about keeping the thermal mass and LED temperatures constant or equal
`
`to each other, but about maintaining a correlation between thermal mass and LED
`
`temperatures, so that the temperature of the thermal mass can be used to reliably
`
`estimate LED wavelengths.
`
`46.
`
`In parallel, we also ran experiments on actual rainbow® sensors by
`
`using a spectrophotometer to detect, very accurately, the wavelength of each LED.
`
`By testing actual rainbow® sensors, we showed that, if we measured the temperature
`
`of the thermal mass in the sensor and calibrated for each LED, we could estimate the

`mass, as shown by the two arrows to the right of the light emitters. On the right side
`
`is a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is attached to the opposite side of
`
`the substrate from the LEDs. The temperature sensor measures a bulk temperature
`
`(“Tb” on the figure) of the thermal mass.
`
`55. The rainbow® sensors use a thermistor for the temperature sensor. A
`
`thermistor is a device whose resistance changes with temperature. The resistance of
`
`the thermistor can be measured and the temperature corresponding to the resistance
`
`can be calculated or looked up. A thermistor is a very accurate way to measure
`
`temperature in the area where the thermistor is located. A thermistor does not
`
`measure temperature in multiple locations or across a wide area. In the ’127 patent,
`
`the temperature of the thermal mass measured by the thermistor is a bulk temperature
`
`because it is used to estimate wavelengths for multiple LEDs.
`
`56. To design the sensor in which the temperature of the thermal mass
`
`could be used to reliably estimate the LED wavelengths, we could not just buy a
`
`multi-layer metallized circuit board off the shelf. We needed to design a circuit
`
`board with a thermal mass that achieved a balance between conducting heat energy
`
`from the LEDs to the thermistor so that the measured temperature will track changes
`
`to LED temperature and storing heat energy so that the measured temperature will
`
`not fluctuate too much and be inaccurate.

`57. Figure 14 of the ’127 patent shows a cross-section across the emitter
`
`assembly to show the composition of the board or substrate itself.
`
`
`
`A board is typically made of material called FR-4. It is the material used in most
`
`computer boards. The boards in most personal computers are FR-4 boards. FR-4 is
`
`used widely in the computer industry in electronics.
`
`58. The top layer of the board is called the component layer, where the
`
`LEDs are attached. The bottom layer of the board is where the thermistor is attached.
`
`Sandwiched in between the top and bottom layer are four internal layers. The
`
`internal layers are metallized with copper or another thermally conductive material.
`
`The internal layers were copper in the first rainbow® sensors.
`
`59. The metallized portions of the layers are thermally connected so that
`
`heat will flow between them. Without such thermal connection, heat would not flow

`between the layers because FR-4 is a very good insulator, made of fiberglass. The
`
`layers are thermally connected to each other using vias or plated through holes.
`
`Accordingly, heat generated on the top layer where the LEDs are attached flows
`
`down to all of the layers through the thermally conductive holes.
`
`60. The structure of the thermal mass does not keep the temperature of the
`
`thermal mass constant. As I explained in connection with the simulations, the
`
`temperature of the thermal mass is not constant. The temperature of the thermal
`
`mass follows the temperature of the LEDs in sync so that the measured temperature
`
`can be used to reliably estimate operating wavelengths of the multiple LEDs.
`
`61. An analogy of people in an elevator can be used to explain how the
`
`temperature of the thermal mass can be used to reliably estimate LED wavelengths
`
`even though the temperature of the thermal mass does not match any of the LED
`
`temperatures. If a group of people are riding in an elevator, and one wants to
`
`measure the height of each person’s head from the ground floor of the building, one
`
`could first measure each person’s height from the floor of the elevator. Then, one
`
`could determine the height of the elevator floor from the ground floor based on
`
`which floor the elevator is at. Then, by adding each person’s height to the height of
`
`the elevator floor from the ground floor, one could calculate the height of each
`
`person’s head from the ground floor. Even though the height of the elevator floor is
`
`not equal to the desired measurement for any person in the elevator, the height of the

`elevator floor follows, and is correlated to, the desired measurement, allowing an
`
`accurate measurement.
`
`62. The invention claimed in the ’127 patent is similar to the elevator
`
`analogy because the bulk temperature of the thermal mass correlates with the
`
`operating wavelengths of the multiple LEDs, even though the temperatures are not
`
`equal to each other. By measuring the bulk temperature of the thermal mass and
`
`then calibrating each LED independently to estimate its wavelength, the claimed
`
`invention can reliably estimate each LED operating wavelength.
`
`63. All but two of the Masimo products with the rainbow® name use the
`
`claimed invention of the ’127 patent. Specifically, there is an acoustic rainbow®
`
`sensor and the RD Lite Set-1 rainbow® sensors that do not use the claimed
`
`invention. All other rainbow® sensors use the claimed invention. Throughout the
`
`rest of this declaration, when I refer to the rainbow® sensors, I am referring only to
`
`the rainbow® sensors that use the claimed invention.
`
`64. The rainbow® sensors connect to a monitoring device that includes an
`
`“MX board.” The MX board receives signals from the rainbow® sensor and
`
`processes the received signals to calculate physiological measurements. The signals
`
`received by the MX board include information about the nominal wavelength of each
`
`LED and the temperature measured by the thermistor. The MX board uses this
`
`information to conduct the wavelength-estimation algorithm to estimate the

`operating wavelength of each LED. Then, based on the estimated wavelengths and
`
`other signals received from the rainbow® sensor, the MX board calculates
`
`carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, and other rainbow® parameters. The MX
`
`board also calculates traditional pulse-oximeter parameters, such as oxygen
`
`saturation and pulse rate, but does not estimate LED operating wavelengths based
`
`on temperature for these parameters.
`
`65. The first rainbow® product released was the Rad-57 monitor (below,
`
`left) with a rainbow® sensor (below, right)
`
`
`
`
`
`EX2004, page 60 (not to scale). Exhibit 2004 is a true and correct copy of an early
`
`Masimo presentation about rainbow® technology. The Rad-57 monitor is the device
`
`that receives signals from a rainbow® sensor, calculates physiological
`
`measurements based on the signals, and displays the measurements. The Rad-57

`was the first device able to noninvasively measure carboxyhemoglobin in the human
`
`body.
`
`66. All rainbow® sensors have some things in common. All have multiple
`
`LEDs that emit multiple wavelengths of light for measuring different physiological
`
`parameters. As mentioned above, the rainbow® sensors have eight or more LEDs.
`
`67. All rainbow® sensors have a thermistor and a thermal mass. They all
`
`have at least one detector to receive LED light after it has passed through a patient’s
`
`finger and to generate signals based on the received light.
`
`68. The Rad-57 and other monitoring devices receive the signals from the
`
`sensors. They isolate detected signals from the sensor as part of the process of
`
`calculating physiological parameters based on the signals. There will be eight
`
`signals for a sensor with eight LEDs. The monitoring device also receives the bulk
`
`temperature signal from the thermistor. The monitoring device uses the bulk
`
`temperature signal to estimate the operating wavelength of each of the LEDs. The
`
`monitoring device then uses the estimated wavelengths and physiological signals to
`
`calculate physiological measurements. Finally, the monitoring device shows the
`
`measurements on a display.
`
`69. The wavelength-estimation calculations are done by an algorithm run
`
`by the monitoring device. The algorithm is defined by source code. I wrote the
`
`original code for the wavelength-estimation calculations. Then, other programmers
