Abstract From the Canadian patent

A circuit arrangement is described with the aid of which a control signal can be generated in dependence upon the occurrence of an extreme value of a sinusoidal oscillation. The circuit arrangement (10) includes a storage member (22) which is adapted to be charged via a diode (20) to one of the extreme values of the sinusoidal oscillation. A discharge path (26) for the storage member (22) is present the time constant of which is so dimensioned that within the period duration of the sinusoidal oscillation an appreciable discharge of the storage member (22) takes place A switch element (24) controllable by the charge voltage of the storage member (22) furnishes the control signal at its …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 21, 1990 and granted December 16, 1997. 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.
