A system and method are provided for automatically setting a thr eshold for a point level device without having a user select whether a point level element is covered or uncovered. A first and second value are measured from a point level element. Whether the point level element is covered or uncovered is determined based on whether the second measured value has increased or decreased with respect to the first measured value. A threshold value is determined based on at least one of the first and second measured values.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 24, 2002 and granted October 8, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 24, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 24, 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.
