Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A caliper gauge for relatively thin moving sheet material is provided by the use of an outer ring type air bearing, flexibly supported, which is flexibly connected again to an inner air bearing carrying the magnetic measuring components. The outer air bearing (with its juxtaposed mate) tends to flatten the sheet so that minimum movement is required of the independently actuated inner air bearing. Thus great accuracy is achieved and tearing or marking of the sheet material, such as super calendered or coated grades of paper, is avoided.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 21, 1990 and granted November 12, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 21, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 21, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
