Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An improved adaptive line pressure control which detects the occurrence of run-through and overrides the normal adaptive pressure control in response to a detected run-through condition so that the line pressure during subsequent shifting is increased instead of decreased. A run-through condition is detected by measuring and comparing first and second time indications corresponding respectively, to the interval of ratio change during the shift (shift time), and the interval between the generation of a shift command and the actual initiation of ratio change (delay time).

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 3, 1992 and granted February 18, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 3, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 3, 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.
