Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method includes setting a contention scheme for an asynchronous bus such that the contention delay of isochronous transactions on the asynchronous bus is bounded. A first device is coupled to the asynchronous bus to receive an isochronous transaction from an isochronous device and output the isochronous transaction to the asynchronous bus. A second device is coupled to the asynchronous bus to receive the isochronous transaction from the asynchronous bus and output the isochronous transaction to a third device.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 9, 2000 and granted December 31, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 9, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 9, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
