Interference No. 103,036 et al. specification makes no mention of thermal insulator, then none was intended. Further, on page 98 of its opening brief, the party40 Cataldi et al. urges that on cross-examination Dr. Powers admitted that both Kiernan et al., U. S. Patent No. 4,723,656 and Parker, U. S. Patent No. 4,737,020 disclose a layer that functions as an electrical insulator and as a thermal conductor. In addition, the party Cataldi et al. argues at page 98 of its brief that Dr. Powers admitted that the term, conductive, was used in the party Burroughs et al.'s specification only in the electrical sense, that Dr. Powers could not explain why he41 understood the word conductor to refer to electrical and thermal properties, and that Dr. Powers admitted that no specific materials were disclosed for layers 30 and 32.42 This section of the brief relies on proposed findings of fact40 (266) to (270). The party Cataldi et al. relies on its proposed finding of41 fact no. (271). This proposed finding relies upon Dr. Powers' testimony at BR 511 to 516, wherein Dr. Powers testified that the terms, conductive means and conductive layer, meant electrically conductive. The party Cataldi et al. relies on its proposed finding of42 fact no. (273). -31-Page: Previous 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
