Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
As a viscous fluid (F) contained in a vehicular heat generator provided with a rotor (33), a non-Newtonian fluid having an apparent viscosity that decreases as the shear rate of the rotor (33) increases (e.g. a kind of silicone oil) is employed. The nominal viscosity of the viscous fluid (F) is in the range of 10,000 cSt to 200,000 cSt. If such viscous fluid is employed, the viscous fluid (F) maintains its shear heat generating function over an extended period even under circumstances where the fluid (F) is subjected to over-shearing by over-rotation of the rotor (33). In addition low-, temperature starting of the rotor is facilitated.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 9, 1997 and granted April 29, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 9, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 9, 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.
