Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method is described of decreasing convergence time in an adaptive echo canceller (20). The method includes the step of locating a primary echo within a filter vector based upon relative tap values within the filter vector. The filter vector is then narrowed, based upon the located taps. An estimated error is determined based, in part upon the, narrowed filter vector. An updated filter vector is produced based, in part, upon the estimated error.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 8, 1993 and granted July 1, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 8, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 8, 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.
