Abstract From the Canadian patent

A signal-receiving and signal-processing unit connected to one or several conductors is adapted to transmit information-carrying signals in the form of voltage pulses. The conductor is connected to a transistor in a signalreceiving circuit to affect a current by using variations in the voltage value of a pulse. The current is in the form of pulses that pass through the transistor. The current is generated by the voltage pulse variations and voltage level. The current is given a signal-adapted information-carrying form by a signal-processing circuit. The transistor in the signal-receiving circuit is coordinated with at least one other transistor so that together they form a current mirror …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 16, 1995 and granted April 18, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 16, 2015.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 16, 2017.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
