single collimated ultraviolet laser beam through the phase mask
(AR 291, ý 6).
27. Dr. Anderson communicated this idea to Dr. Mizrahi (AR
291, $ 7).
28. Anderson alleges that the idea was communicated to
Alice E. White (Dr. White), a noninventor.
29. Dr. White was the department head overseeing the group
that performed research and development in the field of optical
fiber devices, of which Dr. Mizrahi was a part.
30. Dr. White was responsible for hiring Dr. Anderson as a
consultant.
31. Dr. White recalls that either Dr. Anderson and/or
Dr. Mizrahi communicated to her their idea for the method of the
count, no later than May 7, 1992.
32. Dr. White recalls the Anderson inventors conveying to
her the idea of placing a phase mask adjacent and parallel to a
fiber and applying a single beam of light through the phase mask
onto the fiber (AR 295, 1 5).
33. Dr. White recalls the event based on a memorandum she
prepared, dated May 7, 1992.
34. The memorandum states that "from previous discussions
we know Dana [Anderson] to be a fertile source of bold new ideas
that have implications, for instance, for the high volume
manufacturing of fiber phase gratings" (Anderson Ex. 1027).
