`
`5. “power tracker” (’675 patent)
`
`6. “single power tracking signal” (’675 patent)
`
`7. “means for receiving at a secondary processor, from a primary processor via an interchip
`
`communication bus, an image header for an executable software image for the secondary
`
`processor that is stored in memory coupled to the primary processor” (’949 patent)
