Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An in-line gas flow rate sensor includes a movable flow orifice and a fixed flow restrictor adjacent the flow orifice for changing the gas flow through the flow orifice. The flow orifice and the flow restrictor are formed so that each uniform increment of flow orifice movement provides a constaant percent of flow change through the flow orifice. A magnet fixed to the movable flow orifice provides changing magnetic flux corresponding to each uniform increment of flow restrictor movement. A magnetic flux sensor responds to the changing magnetic flux and provides an output corresponding to a constant percent of flow rate changes.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 22, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 22, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 22, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
