Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A wheel slip control system employs a method of varying the detection and correction parameters it uses based on whether the wheel/axle combinations on a truck of a rail vehicle operate in the coupled or decoupled modes of operation. The control system executes programming code featuring detection and correction logic. The steps of the method include deriving both detection parameters optimized for each mode called coupled and decoupled detection parameters and correction parameters optimized for each mode called coupled and decoupled correction parameters. Another step involves monitoring the amount of dynamic braking applied to the wheel/axle combinations. Yet another step involves …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 16, 1997 and granted January 1, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 16, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 16, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
