Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a BS (direct broadcast by satellite) timer recording mode, a constant voltage diode for controlling 18 V is directly inserted in a power circuit. Alternatively a delay, circuit is inserted at the input of a switching circuit for switching the constant voltage diode, thus absorbing the switching time difference between 140-V control and 18-V control. Therefore, the secondary side output voltages can be prevented from being increased, and the output voltages can be stabilized both in the BS timer recording mode (light load powering) and in the television mode (maximum load powering).

Why it's free to use

  • Filed July 13, 1992 and granted March 23, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 13, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 13, 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.
