Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A circuit is proposed for adjusting the loss provided to loops in digital loop carrier transmission systems. A constant current is supplied to the loop and the resulting voltage is measured to determine the resistance of the loop. This value is fed to a microprocessor with a look-up table which controls a programmable analog/digital converter. The loss at the output of the converter is a stepwise function based on the resistance of the customer loop.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 7, 1992 and granted August 11, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 7, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 7, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
