Abstract From the Canadian patent

A data multiplexing network is described which multiplexes a plurality of asynchronous data channels with an asynchronous data stream representing compressed voice signals and or facsimile signals onto a single synchronous data packet stream. The single synchronous data packet stream is then transmitted by a high speed statistical multiplexer over a composite link to a second site using a modified high-level synchronous data link control protocol with an overlay of an advanced priority statistical multiplexing algorithm. The asynchronous data channels and the compressed voice channel and/or facsimile signals are demultiplexed and reconstructed for sending to other asynchronous computer …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 18, 1995 and granted October 26, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 18, 2015.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 18, 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.
