Coupled definition

Coupled means that the Advanced Energy Storage and self-generation equiment are installed on the same electric circuit on the customer side of a single electric utility billing meter.
Coupled means connected, directly or indirectly, by a communication path;
Coupled means associated in such a way that power or signal information may be transferred from one to another. It appears that one of ordinary skill in the art understands the term "coupled" to connote a broad range of associations between two things. The plain meaning of coupled, as understood by someone ordinarily skilled in the art, does not require that the "coupled" components be necessarily physically separate from one another. See Lucantoni 1/15/03 Decl. para.para. 6-8, & Exs. 2, 3; see also Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary at 298 ("couple" means "to join together for combined effect"). Verizon points to nothing in the specification or prosecution history of the '734 patent that justifies deviating from the broad meaning of "coupled" as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. At the Claims Construction Hearing, Verizon alleged that two elements must have an interface between them to be "coupled" within the proper meaning of the term. Verizon's contention, however, begs the question as to whether this interface must be physically defined or defined purely by software.

Coupled means variables are causally linked. As is apparent in CCM results (Table 1), population spatial variability is causally affected by nearly all examined variables, with a various extent in casual effects (ρ is within [0, 1]).
Coupled it means we solve the continuous phase equations and dispersed phase equations together and simultaneously. For steady state simulations we have a steady state solution and hence we do not need to calculate at each time step, we will just calculate the steady state solution. So for this reason, we only solve Eulerian steady state equations for continuous phase flow – “steady state” means there will be no transient term, there is no differential with respect to time in the governing equations. Once we have solved steady state equations for the continuous phase, we solve Lagrangian equation of motion for dispersed phase and we track them from inlet to outlet,
Coupled means to join, or fasten, compact, press together, or have fellowship with. We are
Coupled means “directly connected.”
Coupled means "in data/electronic communication." "Removably mounted" means "not permanently affixed." "Digital input means" means "the keypad."
Coupled means connected or linked, and "coupleable" means capable of being connected or linked. RIM argues that "coupled" encompasses only electrical connections and also that, in the context of Claim 23 of the '304 Patent, "coupleable" means capable of being connected or linked for the purpose of communication. The Court concludes that the Patents do not clearly disavow all but electrical connections. In fact, the Patents disclose a number of ways in which components can be linked or connected without wires. See, e.g., ' 591 Patent at col. 3, l. 7 ("wireless data link"); col. 3, l. 18 ("optical data link"). Further, the Court sees no need to add a "for communications" limitation to the construction of "coupleable" when the surrounding claim language already incorporates a more specific requirement: that the connection or link is "to a remote processing center for initiating processing of user orders." '304 Patent at col. 21, ll. 12-13.
Coupled means connected, either perma- nently or releasably, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components.
