Abstract From the Canadian patent

An adaptive equalizer comprising a computing unit which receives a known signal sequence to estimate transmission channel characteristics and effect compensatory control of tap coefficients by use of a first algorithm that has fast convergence property, and a tap coefficient computing unit for making compensation for relatively slow changes in a random data input after the compensation for the transmission channel characteristics, which either employs an algorithm that involves a relatively low computational complexity or intermittently executes computation.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 30, 1990 and granted October 4, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 30, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 30, 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.
