Abstract From the Canadian patent

Devices and analytical techniques are disclosed for measuring the spatial profile of permittivity of a material by multiple wavenumber interrogations. Electrode structures are disclosed which define a number of different fundamental wavelengths (or wavenumbers). Spatially periodic interrogation signals (of temporary frequency ".omega.") from the electrode structures are attenuated to varying degrees by the material undergoing analysis depending upon the wavenumber ("k"), thereby permitting the derivation of a composite dielectric profile.

Why it's free to use

  • Granted September 3, 1991. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended September 3, 2008.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
