`
`filtered actual pressure, and which is compared to the current desired pressure to ensure that the
`
`difference is within tolerable amounts. (See, Hausegger Report, Section VII.A (and code cited
`
`therein); and see WA-SRC_0000100-101.)
`
`233. Thus, for at least the reasons detailed above, the Wirtgen America W 210 Fi
`
`product, and all other Accused Wirtgen America Products of which the W 210 Fi is representative,
`
`satisfies the limitations of claim element 1[e] of the ’618 patent.

`
`1[f] a first control valve fluidly disposed between the main spray
`manifold and the first spray manifold, the first control valve
`selectively fluidly connecting the main with the first spray
`manifold in response to a valve signal;
`
`234. Claim element 1[f] specifies that the cold planer include a first control valve
`
`wherein said control valve is fluidly disposed between the main spray manifold and the first spray
`
`manifold. This claim element further specifies that the first control valve selectively fluidly
`
`connects the main with the first spray manifold in response to a valve signal.” For at least the
`
`reasons detailed below, the Wirtgen America W 210 Fi satisfies the limitations of claim element
`
`1[f] of the ’618 patent.
`
`235. The Parts Catalog includes a schematic diagram of a portion of the water system,
`
`as shown in Figure 52 below, wherein the electronically controlled “Solenoid Valve (67)” is
`
`disposed between, and selectively fluidly connecting, the main spray manifold with the first spray
`
`manifold. The valve’s “open” or “close” state is dictated by an electronic signal sent to said valve,
`
`which thereby determines whether the water may pass from the main spray manifold to the first
`
`spray manifold. More specifically, as a POSITA would understand, an electric current delivered
`
`to a solenoid valve passes through a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field that operates to
`
`mechanically open and close the valve. In the source code this open/close status is reflected in the
`
`boolean
`
`variables
