Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A capacitive pressure transducer (110) includes a conductive diaphragm positioned between pneumatically separated chambers. The diaphragm is fixed and sealingly coupled at its periphery to the peripheral rim (116) of a concave body member. The diaphragm (140) is supported in tension by the peripheral rim (116) of a concave body member. An electrode assembly (150), supported by the body member (120, 130), establishes a substantially planar conductive surface opposite to and spaced apart by a nominal gap from the conductive diaphragm. The body member includes a yieldable portion that is adapted to radically expand its peripheral rim (116) in response to forces applied to the body member. …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 16, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 16, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 16, 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.
