Abstract From the Canadian patent
A lateral thrust assembly (12) for missile maneuvering comprises an annular array of outwardly directed nozzles (22) each nozzle having a releasable plug (26) normally blocking flow of propellant gases out of the nozzle. A plug release mechanism (38) associated with each plug allows that plug to be released to open the respective nozzle. A combustion chamber (32) containing propellant is connected to the inner ends of all the nozzles. The propellant is ignited when one or more selected plugs are released to allow opening of the associated nozzle or nozzles controlling the, direction of the lateral thrust applied to the vehicle.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 10, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 10, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 10, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
