Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a demodulating system for demodulating a modulated signal into decoded signals (S11'-12' S21'-22'), an error signal correcting circuit (55) is used in correcting discrimination error signals (Ep Eq), supplied from a demodulator (52) in compliance with error location signals (Spl-2, Sql-2) supplied from an error-correcting decoder (54) and in producing corrected discrimination error signals (Ep', Eq') for supply to an adaptive equalizer (51) which is additionally supplied with polarity signals (Dp, Dq) from a delay circuit (53).

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 5, 1991 and granted April 30, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 5, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 5, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
