Abstract From the Canadian patent

A cradle casing has a DC/DC adapter to receive DC power from a DC power source and generate a first DC power signal. A sleeve accepts an AC/DC adapter and guides movement of the AC/DC adapter when the AC/DC adapter is inserted into the cradle casing. The AC/DC adapter is capable of receiving AC power from an AC power source and generating a second DC power signal. A circuit receives at least one of the first DC power signal and the second DC power signal and outputs a third DC power signal.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 6, 2004 and granted January 10, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 6, 2024.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 6, 2026.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
