Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and corresponding apparatus for determining the centroid (Vc) of a waveform signal being sampled at a set of parameter values (Vi i=1, ... n) , yielding a corresponding set of sampled amplitudes (Ai i=1, ... n), each , parameter value and corresponding amplitude forming a sampled point (Vi Ai), the method including the steps of: selecting an amplitude at which to create an interpolated point; interpolating a first parameter value corresponding to the amplitude selected in the step of selecting an amplitude; and performing a centroid calculation using only the sampled points with an amplitude greater than a predetermined threshold. The waveform is sometimes sampled in the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 8, 2002 and granted July 15, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 8, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 8, 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.
