Abstract From the Canadian patent

A gate pulse generator for a reactive power compensation device in which a capacitor is connected in series with antiparallel connected thyristors and which is so constructed that triggering pulses are produced and current is passed into said capacitor when both a signal of forward voltage imposed on said thyristors and a thyristor conduction period signal that is reset by a phase control signal are present. The gate pulse generator includes a means by which conduction period signals associated with thyristors of one polarity are reset during conduction if both a triggering pulse of thyristors of the opposite polarity and a delayed phase control signal associated with the opposite polarity …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 11, 1991 and granted August 5, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 11, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 11, 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.
