Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
In a method for measuring a distance between a conducting reaction track and a functional surface moving relative to the reaction track a sensor with two signal transmitters is provided on the functional surface. An alternating field is generated in the sensor. The alternating field changes as a function of the distance between the conducting reaction track and the functional surface. Each of the two signal transmitters detects the changes of the alternating field as distance information. Each signal transmitter produces decoupled distance information values. These decoupled distance information values are processed in separate distance measuring channels to provide processed signals. The …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 11, 1996 and granted September 10, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 11, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 11, 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.
