Abstract From the Canadian patent

A spot killer circuit for a cathode ray tube having blanking function is configured to be provided with a positive voltage source, a negative voltage source, two diodes, condensers and a resistor in order to perform blanking in horizontal scanning or vertical scanning by using a first grid of the cathode ray tube. In the configuration the two diodes are inserted in, series between the negative voltage source and the first grid, and a first condenser is inserted between a junction of the two diodes and the positive voltage source. A resistor is connected in parallel with the diode connected to the first grid, and a blanking signal is applied to the first grid through a second condenser.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 12, 1991 and granted December 21, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 12, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 12, 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.
