Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A governor for an internal combustion engine suitable for speed regulation of engines driving loads of such character that the power requirements vary more within a recurring cycle than between such cycles is provided by the current invention. Means are provided for speed detection designation of a number of fixed positions within the load cycle setting of a power control to specific positions and memory to store representations of load cycle positions and engine power control positions. A microprocessor computes an engine power control position at each load cycle position and applies the power control position to the engine by controlling the engine power control means.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 7, 1998 and granted July 11, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 7, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 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.
