Abstract From the Canadian patent

An inverter control apparatus comprises a controller a mode decision circuit and a voltage reference conversion circuit. The mode decision circuit determines one of three kinds of modes which may be used to control the inverter, namely, a normal mode, a rectangle mode and zero correction mode selected according to values and polarities of multi-phase voltage reference signals.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 21, 1993 and granted June 23, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 21, 2013.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 21, 2015.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
