Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An amplifier/detector chain logarithmically amplifies an input signal as well as compensates for delays generated by necessary bandwidth restrictions. A plurality of amplifiers are connected in series and grouped in amplifier stages with each stage having at least one amplifier. In between each amplifier stage is a filter which restricts the bandwidth of signals to frequencies in a desired signal range. When an amplifier stage includes more than one amplifier, a local summer sums the outputs detected by detectors associated with each amplifier in a particular stage. When an amplifier stage includes only a single amplifier associated detector, the local sum signal for the stage is simply the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 20, 1991 and granted November 7, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 20, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 20, 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.
