Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method for testing body components of pulsed droplet deposition apparatus comprises applying a variable frequency voltage to the electrodes of each of a number of selected channel wall elements (24). The resulting impedance variations are used to determine the natural frequencies of the selected wall elements which, in turn, are used to determine whether the compliance ratios of the selected wall elements and the droplet liquid to be used therewith lies within a desired range of values.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 29, 1989 and granted November 7, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 29, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 29, 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.
