The apparatus includes a mechanically adjustable, blending subassembly adapted to receive the first gas at a predetermined pressure and a one to one force balanced pneumatic relay which is operated by the first gas and which meters the flow of the second gas to the blending subassembly at a pressure substantially equal to the pressure of the first gas being supplied to the blending subassembly.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 28, 1989 and granted August 2, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 28, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 28, 2011.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
