Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A power plant water chemistry analysis apparatus and method relies upon water chemistry sensors to obtain power plant water chemistry data (34) characterizing the chemical activity of a power plant water system. An analytical model processor (36) is used to generate model predictions for the power plant water system. A statistical data fitting processor (38) selects screened data from the power plant water chemistry data that corresponds to the model predictions. The screened data is processed by an artificial intelligence processor (40) to derive power plant water chemistry diagnostic information (42). The artificial intelligence processor (40) includes an expert system (50), rule …

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 13, 1996 and granted June 10, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 13, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 13, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
