`

`Like the ’144 Patent, McNeill Discloses an
`Interface Device
`
`IPR2016-01225
`
`“This invention comprises a SCSI emulation device and system for providing
`access to non-SCSI devices or SCSI devices on a non-local SCSI bus via a common
`SCSI bus thereby providing a practical and economic system for achieving access
`to a multiplicity of peripherals in a SCSI environment.” Ex. 1303, col. 3:17-22
`
`Petition at 26-27; Ex. 1306, ¶¶ 85-94.

`There is General Agreement on Level of
`Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`• A person having ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged
`invention “would have had at least a four-year degree in electrical
`engineering, computer science, or related field of study, or equivalent
`experience, and at least two [years of] experience in studying or
`developing computer interfaces or peripherals.” Ex. 1306 ¶ 39.
`
`•
`
`Such an artisan also would have been “familiar with operating
`systems (e.g., MS-DOS, Windows, Unix) and their associated file
`systems (e.g., a [file allocation table (“FAT”)] file system), device
`drivers for computer components and peripherals (e.g., mass storage
`device drivers), and communication interfaces (e.g., SCSI and PCMCIA
`interfaces).” Id.

`Disputed Issue #1: “the processed analog data is
`stored in the data storage memory as at least
`one file of digitized analog data”
`PO asserts that McNeill does not disclose “storing data from a
`sensor on McNeill’s mag disk” PO Response at 25.
`
`PO makes two arguments, both of which lack merit and are
`contradicted by its expert:
`[1a] “[I]n order for the target to present itself as two
`peripheral devices to the initiator as proposed, the target
`would have to occupy two SCSI IDs” PO Response at 29.
`
`[1b] Saving image data as files to the mag disk in McNeill
`would worsen its performance for no benefit PO Response at 31.

`

`

`IPR2016-01225
`Petitioners Proposed Two Ways of Saving
`Scanner Image Data to the Mag Disk that Would
`Have Been Obvious to POSITA in view of McNeill
`• The first is to prepare a single SCSI ID for the mag disk and
`scan a document and store the scanned image in the mag
`disk without using the initiator. Petition at 27-28, 31-32, 36, 56, 70;
`Ex. 1306 at ¶¶ 86-87.
`
`• The second is to prepare two SCSI IDs for a scanner and
`the mag disk and scan a document and store the scanned
`image in the mag disk through SCSI scanner commands
`from the initiator. Petition at 28-29, 31-32, 52, 58, 71-72; Ex. 1306 at ¶¶
`88-92.
`
`• Both ways are technically correct as Gafford admitted.

`
`Using a Single SCSI ID
`
`“A scanner might be attached to a parallel port of a computer and controlled manually,
`by a user pressing a button on a scanner, or by software on the target machine.”

`

`IPR2016-01225
`
`PO’s Expert Admits That McNeill Can Be
`Configured Using A Single SCSI ID
`A. [I]f [the scanner] were connected through a – some
`other sort of port, then it would have to obey whatever
`the rules are for that port, such as a serial port or
`whatever – whatever it is connected with.
`
`*
`
`*
`
`*
`
`Q. So if I had a non-SCSI scanner attached to the target
`computer, then I wouldn’t need to identify more than one
`device [ID] in terms of the SCSI protocol?
`
`A. On the target’s own SCSI bus, no, because [the scanner]
`wouldn’t be on that bus. Ex. 1315 at 89:14-90:13.

`

`PO’s Expert Admits That McNeill Can Emulate
`Two SCSI Devices
`
`IPR2016-01225
`
`• “[T]here is nothing in McNeill that says his emulator
`could not address two devices connected at the same
`time to the target computer that represent themselves
`as SCSI devices” Ex. 1315 at 94:11-17.
`
`• “[McNeill] says you can write an emulator for anything.”
`Ex. 1315 at 86:18-87:9

`
`Panasonic Corp., et al., Ex. 1316, P. 14 of 28
`
`

`

`IPR2016-01225
`
`A POSITA Would Have Understood that McNeill
`Can Emulate Two SCSI Devices
`• “Target emulation routines (device drivers) could be written
`to support various types of devices…” Ex. 1303 [McNeill] at col. 7:37-
`8:6.
`
`• “[A]n initiator can address up to eight peripheral devices (i.e.,
`Logical Units, LUNs) that are connected to a target.” Ex. 1303
`[McNeill] at col. 2:14-15; see also col. 2:48-57 (accessing mag disk and printer at
`the same time).
`
`• McNeill states that the purpose of his invention is “providing a
`practical and economic system for achieving access to a
`multiplicity of peripherals in a SCSI environment.” Ex. 1303
`[McNeill] at col. 3:17-22
`
`See also Petition at 28-29, 31-32, 52, 58, 71-72; Ex. 1306 at ¶¶ 88-92.

`PO’s Expert Admits That A POSITA Would Have
`Known How to Configure McNeill to Emulate
`Two SCSI Devices
`
`“[A]t the time of the Tasler patents in 1997, it was known that
`you could attach more than one SCSI adapter to a computer”
`Ex. 1315 at 90:21-91:9
`
`“[Y]ou can certainly have a SCSI adapter per device, per different
`device on the target, which all – would both connect to bus 12,
`which would then – each would provide an emulation of the
`particular kind of device.” Ex. 1315 at 94:17-25

`
`

`

`IPR2016-01225
`PO’s Expert Explained that saving image data as
`files to the mag disk is necessary, not
`undesirable
`“Scanners typically can’t buffer anything. They are lucky
`if they can buffer two or three lines. Scanners are -- in
`fact, a typical cheap scanner doesn’t even try to buffer a
`whole page. It moves its head and stores just enough
`data to deal with the communication interface speed,
`and it’s up to the app on the attached computer to pull
`that data in and store it to a drive. So scanners are
`always storing on a drive. They are not depending on
`their own buffer storing anything. That’s just not how
`scanners are used.”
`
`Ex. 1315 [Gafford Tr.] at 100:1-16 (emphasis added).

`McNeill discloses “the processed analog data is
`stored in the data storage memory as at least
`one file of digitized analog data”
`
`• McNeill’s initiator computer can access and read data files
`on the magnetic hard disk of the target computer, as if it
`were a SCSI hard drive. Petition at 31-32 (citing Ex. 1303, 3:17– 22, 4:47–
`50, 8:23–29)
`
`•
`
`It would have been obvious to a POSITA to save the
`scanner’s image data on the hard disk as digitized files, so
`that the initiator computer can access and read the digitized
`image files. Petition at 31-32 (citing Ex. 1303, 5:36–58, Fig. 4; Ex. 1306 ¶

`
`Disputed Issue #2: “without requiring any end
`user to interact with the computer to set up a
`file system in the ADGPD at any time”
`
`PO asserts that McNeill does not disclose “a file system on
`McNeill’s target that can support storage and transfer of a file
`as claimed.”

`McNeill discloses OS2 and DOS operating
`systems
`Both experts agree that McNeill discloses operating
`systems, which were known to include file systems
`
`McNeill discloses that the target computer can be an IBM
`computer running OS2 or DOS operating systems.
`
`Ex. 1303 at col. 4:11-17, 7:31-33, 37-col. 8:3; Ex. 1315 [Gafford Tr.] at 100:17-
`101:10 (McNeill discloses OS2 operating system); Ex. 1314 [Reynolds Tr.] at
`78:3-23 (same); Ex. 1315 [Gafford Tr.] at 101:11-14 (McNeill discloses DOS
`operating system); Ex. 1313 at ¶ 8 (McNeill discloses OS2 and DOS operating
`systems, which, at the time of the filing date of the ‘144 patent, came with filing
`systems).

`
`OS2 and DOS had file systems and, as such,
`McNeill discloses a file system
`• Ex. 1306 at ¶ 39 (“a person of ordinary skill would also be familiar with
`operating systems (e.g., MS-DOS, Windows, Unix) and their associated file
`systems (e.g., a FAT file system)”)
`
`• Ex. 1315 [Gafford Tr.] at 102:22-103:1 (agreeing that “DOS operating
`system contains a file system”)
`
`• Ex. 1309 [MS-DOS Encyclopedia] at 51 (“A traditional microcomputer
`operating system…provides additional features such as a file system….”)
`
`• Ex. 3001 [Microsoft Computer Dictionary] at 3-4 (“[t]he FAT file system is
`used by MS-DOS to organize and manage files” and “that the operating
`system places information about the stored file in the FAT so that MS-DOS
`can retrieve the file later when requested.”)

`

`Disputed Issue #3: “the processor adapted to be
`involved in a data generation process”
`
`IPR2016-01225
`
`PO asserts that Petitioners fail to show that “the processing
`and conversion of analog data is performed by…the processor
`of the ADGPD, as required by the claims.”
`PO Response at 44.
`
`24
`
`Panasonic Corp., et al., Ex. 1316, P. 24 of 28
`
`

`

`IPR2016-01225
`“the processor adapted to be involved in a data
`generation process”
`• No dispute that the processor is not required to generate the
`analog data. PO Response at 15-16, 43-44; Petition at 31-32.
`
`• PO asserts that the processor should be construed to require
`that it be involved in converting the analog data.
`
`• PO points to no evidence to support this construction.
`
`• As the Board pointed out, the specification states, at most,
`that the processor reads the generated data, and transfers
`the data to the host, but it does not describe how the
`processor is involved directly in generating or converting the
`data. Institution Decision at 13; Ex. 1301, col. 5:3–7.
`25
`
`Panasonic Corp., et al., Ex. 1316, P. 25 of 28
`
`

`

`IPR2016-01225
`
`The Board declined to adopt PO’s construction
`“[W]e are not persuaded that the processor of the ADGPD is required to be
`involved directly in generating and converting the analog data...Patent
`Owner does not identify where the Specification discloses the processor is
`involved directly in generating the analog data. The Specification, at most,
`discloses that the processor reads the generated data, and transfers the data
`to the host, but it does not describe how the processor is involved directly in
`generating or converting the data. Id. at 5:3–7 (“a data transmit/receive
`device . . . From which data is to be read, i.e. acquired, and transferred to the
`host device”).
`
`“In light of the foregoing, we decline to construe ‘the processor is adapted to
`be involved in a data generation process’ to require the processor to be
`involved directly in generating or converting the data, as suggested by Patent
`Owner.”

`McNeill discloses that the processor is adapted
`to be involved in a data generation process
`
`• McNeill discloses that the target computer is capable of
`providing access to multiple SCSI or non-SCSI peripherals
`by emulating a SCSI device. Ex. 1303, Col. 3:17-22, 4:47-50, Col. 5:36-
`58, 8:23-29; Figs. 2, 4.
`
`• A POSITA would have understood that a processor can
`control analog as well as digital devices, i.e., that the target
`could execute emulation code for controlling and/or
`acquiring data from analog devices including, for example,
`a scanner or microphone. Ex. 1306, ¶¶ 100-101.
