Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
With a method for testing the strength of a vertically and stationarily anchored mast the mast is mechanically loaded with bending. The behaviour of the mast occuring with this is evaluated for determining its standing and bending strength. In the temporal context, with the testing procedure the mast location is determined by way of a satellite navigation system. For this purpose the testing means are equipped with a GPS reciever for receiving GPS signals and a VHF receiver for recieving correction data. With this the GPS reciever and the UKW receiver form a DGPS reciever whose signals representing the location may be transferred onto a digital data memory.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 29, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 29, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 29, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
