If one or more signals from the network host to the device (35) are weak or degraded, then multiple connections can provide redundancy of data being sent from the host to the device reducing the amount of lost data.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 29, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 29, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 29, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
