Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A transducer assembly includes a cap readily removable from a housing and enclosing a pressure transducer and a main valve body. Seals are located inside the housing which often are elastomeric or otherwise heat damageable. A top cartridge together with all of the seals inside the housing is readily disconnectable from the housing to separate the seals from the transducer assembly first end. This first end may then be heat sealed by soldering, brazing or welding, to a manifold or the like without any heat damage to the various seals. The transducer assembly then may be readily reassembled to form an operative transducer assembly.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 25, 1993 and granted March 13, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 25, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 25, 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.
