Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A receiver consistent deconvolution operator models the damped oscillatory wavetrain that is related to geophone coupling to the water bottom. The operator is a best-fitting function that endeavors to describe the difference in coupling response between a well-coupled in-line geophone relative to an imperfectly-coupled cross-line geophone. The operator is applied to the cross-line signals to compensate the signals for the distortion due to imperfect cross-line ground coupling.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 2, 1998 and granted May 30, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 2, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 2, 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.
