Abstract From the Canadian patent

A mirror is moved in parallel to a print card to reflect the infrared radiation radiated from the print card. The reflected infrared radiation is detected by a detector such as an infrared camera though a wind rectifying plate which can permeate the infrared radiation but interrupts the air stream between the inside and outside of a card rack. The signal corresponding to the detected infrared radiation is processed by a personal computer to measure the temperature distribution.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 15, 1998 and granted June 12, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 15, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 15, 2020.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
