Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention provides an apparatus and method of interrupting the current in a circuit wherein the magnetic pressure induced by current flow through a conductor causes the conductor to flow and thereby open the associated circuit. Magnetic pressure may be derived from Lorenz equations. Gravity is not relied upon to cause the conductor material to flow. The invention may be used in circuits having high currents relative to conductor size and material selection.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 19, 2004 and granted January 8, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 19, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 19, 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.
