A fluid flow meter has a housing with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and defining therebetween a fluid flow path. The flow meter has a flexible membrane having a inlet end mounted at an inlet region of the fluid flow path and a outlet end mounted at an outlet region of the fluid flow path. The flexible membrane produces undulating motion in response to fluid flow in the fluid flow path. Fluid flow rate is measured by sensing the undulating motion of the membrane. Performance of the meter is enhanced by laminating a layer of material to the membrane.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 10, 1994 and granted April 27, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 10, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 10, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
