An improved electromagnetic transducer (20) able to produce more power per mass than a conventional transducer. This increased power per mass is made possible by combining a properly designed housing a neodymium magnet (36) and , a dual coil structure (40). This design dissipates the heat generated by the transducer, increasing the efficiency and power of the transducer. Also by , dissipating heat more efficiently the transducer can be made smaller and more powerful than conventional transducers.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 13, 1995 and granted May 2, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 13, 2015.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 13, 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.
