Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The digital sampler circuit processes an output signal from a high gain analog amplifier having as input an infrared motion detector output signal and a negative low pass filtered feedback signal. The amplifier output signal is a substantially square pulse signal having an irregular frequency and duty cycle and has an average duty cycle indicative of a DC level and a slow change in the DC level of the detector output signal. The sampler circuit includes a detector circuit for detecting the amplifier output signal and discriminating at regular intervals a high/low state of the output signal and generates a high/low feedback signal corresponding to the high/low state of the output signal …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 7, 1998 and granted October 15, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 7, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 7, 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.
