Thereafter the first subset is assigned to the first segment of the first frame and the second subset to the second segment of the first frame.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 21, 1990 and granted April 20, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 21, 2010.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
