At least one adaptive filter is operated in response to the error signal or, signals, and in response to at least one non-advanced reference signal that is directly, related to some motion of the system.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 17, 1997 and granted November 23, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 17, 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.
