`Bosch REAXX infringes certain independent claims of the ‘712 Patent literally and under the
`doctrine of equivalents. The structure and operation of the Bosch REAXX are described in the
`following publicly available materials, cited herein:

`publicly available information, and SawStop’s investigation into Respondents’ infringement is
`ongoing. SawStop reserves the right to provide additional theories under which Respondents’

`
`Bosch REAXX Saw
`
`The Bosch REAXX is a woodworking machine.
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Product Announcement:
`
` The Active Response Technology system on the REAXX table
`saw rapidly detects human flesh that comes in contact with the
`blade and drops the saw blade below the tabletop.

`8(b) a detection

`detect a dangerous
`condition between a

`working portion by
`imparting an electric
`signal to the working
`portion and

`
`The Bosch REAXX includes a detection system adapted to detect a
`dangerous condition between a person and the working portion by

`
` The Active Response Technology system on the REAXX table
`saw rapidly detects human flesh that comes in contact with the
`blade and drops the saw blade below the tabletop.
`
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Product Review I:
`
`
` The Bosch REAXX Portable Jobsite Table Saw promises to do
`away with their finger-eating ways for good. It employs Active
`Response Technology — a series of advanced sensors and
`electronics — to detect when human flesh comes in contact
`with the blade and instantly drop the 10-inch saw blade below
`the tabletop.
`
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Q&A:
`
`
` Wood Works: How does the REAXX flesh-sensing technology
`work? What makes the REAXX different than the jobsite safety
`saw released last year by SawStop?

`

`
`system is translated to an intuitive, easy-to-understand LED
`light panel that manages saw operation and status.
`
`Green means the saw is ready for use.
`
`Red means the saw is not ready and will not function until the
`user corrects an issue.
`
`Yellow flashing means the system is in bypass mode and will
`not react to an incident. This mode is used for cutting
`conductive materials that can potentially activate the Active
`Response Technology system.
`
` A
`
` blue light means the saw requires service.
`
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Product Video at 0:28-0:48.
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Demo I at 0:01-0:25.
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Demo II at 3:35-4:20, 8:28-9:10.
`
`The Bosch REAXX includes a reaction system associated with the
`detection system to cause a predetermined action to take place relative
`to the working portion upon detection of the dangerous condition.
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Product Announcement:
`
` The Active Response Technology system on the REAXX table
`saw rapidly detects human flesh that comes in contact with the
`blade and drops the saw blade below the tabletop.

` A couple of things happen simultaneously when the mechanism

`
`on the Bosch ReaXX table saw engages. … 1. The table saw
`does a quick check, recognizes the system is ready to go, and
`allows you to activate the saw 2. An event trigger is detected—
`namely, your finger or fingers touch the spinning saw blade 3.
`The sensor fires the piston which contacts a lever that retracts
`the blade into the table so quickly, it doesn’t even leave a mark
`on your finger….
`
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Preview:
`
`
` The new Bosch REAXX (for “reacts”) GTS1041A uses flesh-
`sensing technology to trigger a mechanism that retracts the
`blade below the table if the operator makes contact with the
`blade while it is spinning.
`
` During the demonstration a Bosch product manager held a
`bratwurst on a board and slid it into the spinning blade; the
`moment the wurst touched the blade, a mechanism in the saw
`dropped it below the table. It happened so quickly the wurst
`came away with little more than a scratch.
`
` To the observer, triggering the Bosch safety mechanism looks
`the same as triggering SawStop’s: flesh touches the spinning
`blade, there's a loud bang, and the blade suddenly “disappears”.
`
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Product Video at 0:28-0:48.
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Demo I at 0:01-0:25.
`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Demo II at 8:28-9:10.
`The Bosch REAXX includes a motion detection system adapted to
`detect motion of the working portion and to disable the reaction system
`when the working portion is not moving.

`
`See, e.g., Bosch REAXX Demo II video, 3:20-4:20 (showing
`demonstrators moving their hands around/touching blade while
`powered up without the saw triggering, indicating that the reaction
`system is disabled when the blade is not moving).
