attached to a disposable battery, would be
constructed of diamond, so as to be thermally
conductive and electrically insulative.
Also, the party Burroughs et al. relies upon
Dr. Powers' testimony at BR 63 and 64. Dr. Powers testified that
he had performed an experiment to determine the operability of a
heat sensitive battery strength or voltage indicator on the side
of a battery without special precautions taken to prevent heat
sinking from the conductive layer to the conductive battery
housing. In the experiment he used a strip tester as described
in the Parker '020 patent and Kiernan patent and found that heat
sinking is not a problem.
In addition, the party Burroughs et al. relies upon the
testimony of Dr. Alan Salkind, one of the party Cataldi et al.'s
witnesses called by the party Wang et al.; Dr. Feder, an expert
testifying on behalf of the party Cataldi et al.; and
Mr. Patrick D. Hein, a witness for the party Cataldi et al.
Dr. Salkind testified that he presumed that the
nonconductive layer is both thermally nonconductive as well as
electrically nonconductive. BR 2903. Dr. Feder testified with
respect to (Burroughs et al. Exhibit 5 (BX 5)), which is directly
analogous to the thermal battery strength indicator described in
the Burroughs et al. patent, that nonconductive would normally
