In a high speed mode of the reader odd series, outputs of the CCD are clamped in a unit of one line period by first and second capacitors and the second transistor.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 15, 1994 and granted April 25, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 15, 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.
