Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
In a vertical sawtooth generator of a vertical deflection circuit, a first comparator generates an output signal when a retrace portion of a sawtooth signal is at a first magnitude to initiate a vertical trace portion of the sawtooth signal. An amplifier responsive to the sawtooth signal generates a feedback current at a time that occurs more than one-half of the length of vertical trace portion after vertical trace is initiated. The feedback current is coupled to a capacitor to develop a capacitor voltage. The capacitor voltage is applied via a voltage-to-current converter to an integrating capacitor to develop in the integrating capacitor the trace portion of the sawtooth signal.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 11, 1993 and granted January 30, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 11, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 11, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
