50. In reaching this conclusion, Prof Colgate adopts the meaning of "moveable member
manipulating objects" proffered by Wakalopulos as meaning any device or apparatus capable
of moving or manipulating objects. B. Ex. 2009, p. 4, ý 5.
51. Prof Colgate does not testify that this is the meaning that a person having ordinary skill in
the art would give to the phrase "moveable member manipulating objects."
52. With respect to Figures 3A-3D and page 7, lines 16-27 of Bilstad's specification Prof
Colgate testifies:
Figures 3A-3D and page 7 lines 16-27 describe a device for making a sterile
connection of two components within a sterile field. The device serves to
sterilize the component ends, cut off those ends to form open ends, and then
join the open ends. This device is capable of manipulating objects, including
cutting off component ends, andmoving those ends toward one anotheralong
a common axis.
B. Ex. 2009, p. 2.
53. With respect to Figures 5A and 5B and page 8, lines 7-15, Prof. Colgate testifies:
Figures 5A and 5B and page 8, lines 7-15 describe an apparatus for
performing a sterile joint of multiple components within a sterile field. The
device serves to hold the component ends, peel away a protective covering
from each end, align the ends, and join the ends. This device is capable of
manipulating objects, including peeling away a protective covering from a
pre-sterilized component, aligning two components, and moving two
components toward one another.
B. Ex. 2009, p. 3.
54. With respect to Figures 6A-6D, and the portion of the specification describing those
drawings Prof Colgate testifies:
Figures 6A-6D and page 8, lines 22-26 describe an apparatus for performing
a sterile assembly (as opposed to connection) oftwo components. This device
is capable of manipulating objects, including those motions necessary for
assembly
B. Ex. 2009, p. 3.
55. With respect to Figures 8A-8D and the descriptive portion of the Bilstad specification Prof
Colgate testifies:
Figures 8A-8D and page 9, lines 24-31 describe another apparatus for
performing a sterile assembly of two components. The device serves to hold
