Interference No. 102,755
18-19, ¶¶ 3-5). That no efforts to reduce Nedelk's invention
to practice were made prior to the Airbus proposal during this
time is clear from Beck's testimony (NR 474:14-17):
Q. Okay. So to be clear, after '85,
in the work you did with Mr. Ruof, until
this [Airbus] proposal came in,
this was on the back burner;
is that correct?
A. Yes.
However, Nemcheck conceded that as early as 1985 ABSC could
have used one of its dynamometers to verify that Nedelk's Taxi
Brake Select concept reduced carbon wear (NR 251:11 to
251:11):
Q. . . . What's a dynamometer?
A. . . . In our case it's a device
for simulating the speed and energy of an
aircraft for brake testing. We also have
roll test dynamometers for wheels, which
are primarily to simulate the loads on
aircraft wheels under rolling conditions.
BY MR. MURRAY:
Q. Under braking conditions also?
A. And -- yes.
Q. Did you have a dynamometer in 1985?
A. Yes, uh-huh.
Q. Yes?
A. Sure, yes, we did.
