Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The method and apparatus of this invention detects and records a convolved series of impulses, and then mathematically extracts the intensity and position of each impulse using least squares with the constraint that the impulses are spaced with a constant interval and that the instrument's response to a single impulse is known. This constraint allows the expression of the problem in a form which is amenable to rapid solution in a mathematically robust manner that is tolerant to noise.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 19, 1993 and granted August 18, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 19, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 19, 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.
