7. Judge Patel asked about the nature of the "Burst" name and Dr. Hemami explained that "bursting" was in some ways a shortcut for saying "Faster-Than-Real-Time". In this regard Judge Patel asked if the concept of "bursting" would be understood in 1988 by someone skilled in the art, and Dr. Hemami said "Yes".

8. It was interesting to watch the body language of Judge Patel as she listened to Dr. Hemami. She often had her hand under her chin as she pondered and intently listened to what Dr. Hemami was saying.

9. There was a lengthy presentation of how compression works on audio and video and how much was known in the 1988 time period. The judge asked about the difference between spatial compression (file size) and temporal compression. Dr. Hemami answered by explaining how compression algorithms can ignore some of the bits in a digital file to make it smaller and that if the file is small enough and the communications link fast enough (bandwidth) then you can achieve temporal compression (as outlined in the Judge Motz construction - No Judge Motz construction was cited today - I'm just reading between the lines). Clearly, Judge Patel is looking at the Motz construction to see if she agrees with this construction.

10. Dr. Hemami then went on to explain that Apple's view of Time Compression has the same number of bits going in and the same number of bits going out. There is no data compression in the time compression found in the Apple construction.

There was a lengthy description on how a full duplex phone system works and how time compression plays an important role in allowing what seems to be people talking at the same time on the same channel. Dr. Hemami went into some detail to explain how the communications link can rapidly send 4 bits from one end and then send 4 bits from the other end (over and over again) very quickly so it seems like people are talking at the same time. It is a very clever electrical engineering trick that makes us think were are both talking at the same time. It seemed that Judge Patel had no problem with this "full duplex" stuff. Dr. Hemami also pointed out that there is no data compression in the Time Compression Multiplexing model. TCM only squishes the bits closer together in order to multiplex them to achieve better bandwidth efficiency.

11. Dr. Hemani also talked about how the "burst" term found in the Haskell TCM patent was different from the "burst" (faster-than-real-time) meaning in the Burst patents.

There was a short break and then Apple made its presentation (Part 3 -- coming later)
