Abstract From the Canadian patent

The transducer supply is configured for supplying a passive transducer arranged in an explosion-hazard zone with electrical energy from a DC voltage source. The electrical energy is transmitted via a two-wire connection, via which in the opposite direction the measured value sensed by the transducer is transmitted by the transducer setting the direct current obtained from the DC voltage source to a value variable between two limit values. As a means of protection a transformer is inserted in the two-wire connection which affects DC decoupling. The direct current is chopped in accordance with the principle of a DC voltage converter at the primary side of the transformer and re-rectified on …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 29, 1998 and granted September 25, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 29, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 29, 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.
