Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A wide angle passive infrared energy sensor includes an infrared transducer. Energy in the field of view which is essentially normal to the transducer impinges directly on the transducer which can in turn generate an electrical signal in response thereto. Radiant energy at the peripheral regions of the field of view, on the order of 90° with respect to a center line normal to the detector, is parabolically reflected onto the detector.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 18, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 18, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 18, 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.
