`
`devices (including but not limited to audio electronics); analysis and testing of audio devices;
`
`acoustics and acoustic testing of audio devices (including but not limited to audio electronics);
`
`and acoustic properties of materials used in audio devices. Dr. Buck’s testimony may be offered
`
`for any proper purpose in this proceeding, including rebuttal (if necessary), with regard to claims
`
`asserted by Complainant, defenses of Respondents, and expert witness reports and testimony
`
`

`
`offered on behalf of Complainant. A copy of Dr. Buck’s professional resume and list of
`
`consulting projects is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`2.
