Abstract From the Canadian patent

A drop out compensation circuit for resolving the unnaturalness of the pictorial image due to a long period drop out compensation is disclosed. This drop out compensation circuit comprises a drop out detecting circuit, a delay circuit for delaying a drop out detected output, and a circuit for limiting the drop out compensation to the delay time period by the delay circuit in response to the drop out detected output and the delay signal of the delay circuit. Accordingly the drop out, compensation is performed only within a range wherein it is visually natural, so that unnatural pictorial image does not appear.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 18, 1990 and granted January 11, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 18, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 18, 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.
