Abstract From the Canadian patent

Spurious cavity resonance effects in a cabinet housing electronics circuitry are suppressed by determining the maximum repetition rate or frequency for legitimate signals which can appear in the circuitry and then establishing the dimensions of each cavity within the cabinet such that each cavity's resonant frequency is less than the critical repetition rate/frequency. Since a given cavity in a cabinet is typically block-shaped (such as the space between a cabinet door and the circuit panel facing the door) a special, purpose formula may be employed to obtain a good approximation of the cavity's resonant frequency, and the cavity dimensions then adjusted to raise the cavity resonant …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 22, 1989 and granted September 10, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 22, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 22, 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.
