Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method of tightening a bolt in an optimum time length does not require an additional program for controlling speed once optimum internal parameters have been determined through several learning cycles. A target torque is first preset and the nut runner is subjected to several learning cycles so that the nut runner automatically determines such internal parameters as to stop the motor immediately after the target torque is reached, requiring a minimum time for tightening the bolt.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 25, 1996 and granted January 19, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 25, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 25, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
