Abstract: The invention relates to cheese and cheese-like products comprising about 0.2 to about 6% by weight ?s-casein, ?-casein, or a combination thereof, at least about 5% by weight of one or more hydrocolloids comprising one or more starches, and wherein the cheese or cheese-like product has one or more characteristics of a dairy product, such as flavour, taste, aroma, body, appearance, texture, firmness, handling, density, structure, coagulation, binding, leavening, aeration, foaming, emulsification, elasticity, viscoelasticity, melt, creaminess and mouthfeel.

Abstract: An exhaust diffuser unit for a gas turbine engine includes an outer ring, a diffuser cone and vanes, all made from a ceramic matrix composite material. Each vane has end components which have apertures through which a metallic support strut extends. The support strut is rigidly secured at its radially outer end to a diffuser casing, and is slidably but non-rotatably received at its radially inner end in an aperture in a boss provided on a drum. Structural loads between the casing and the drum are transferred through the strut independently of the vane. Gas loads on the vane are transferred to the strut by way of metallic end components.

Abstract: An exhaust diffuser unit for a gas turbine engine comprises an outer ring 2, a diffuser cone 4 and vanes 8, all made from a ceramic matrix composite material. Each vane has end components 24, 26 which have apertures 36, 38 through which a metallic support strut 40 extends. The support strut 40 is rigidly secured at its radially outer end to a diffuser casing 10, and is slidably but non-rotatably received at its radially inner end in an aperture 48 in a boss 50 provided on a drum 18. Structural loads between the casing 10 and the drum 18 are transferred through the strut 40 independently of the vane 8. Gas loads on the vane 8 are transferred to the strut 40 by way of metallic end components 24, 26.
