`

`
`The dispute fine-tuned: is the plain and ordinary meaning
`of NBRF:
`(1) a “filter that passes all of the frequencies of the power
`supply except within a narrow band”
`OR
`(2) a “filter which rejects a narrow band of frequencies but
`that is also engineered to do other things as well (such as
`reject at frequencies outside the narrow band)”

`Q. And what would a POSITA then understand in terms of what that narrow band
`rejection filter passes? How would a POSITA describe or understand that?
`A. What it doesn’t filter, it passes. That which is not filtered is passed. You know,
`given—given the limitations of any circuit not being perfect.
