Abstract: A semi-active system for providing a required fluid flow, the system comprising an outlet configured to protrude into the main flow direction of an external fluid flow external to the semi-active system, an exhaust channel provided, in relation to the main flow direction of the external fluid flow, beneath the outlet, the exhaust channel being configured to inject an exhaust fluid flow into the external fluid flow, a device configured to produce a jet fluid flow and a pipe provided within the exhaust channel, the pipe being configured to fluid-communicatively couple to the device, and entrain, by the produced jet fluid flow, the exhaust fluid flow.

Abstract: An aircraft tail region including a cooling system installed in the aircraft tail region. The cooling system comprises a cooler, which forms a section of an outer skin of the aircraft tail region, and includes coolant channels allowing a flow of ambient air therethrough, and extending from a first surface of the cooler to a second surface of the cooler. The cooling system also includes a fan system, which is adapted to convey ambient air through the coolant channels of the cooler at least in specified operating phases of the cooling system, and a first opening, which is formed in the outer skin of the aircraft tail region, and which allows, in conveying operation of the fan system, ambient air which is supplied through the coolant channels of the cooler into an interior of the aircraft tail region to be discharged back into the aircraft environment.

Abstract: An ion beam therapy system and method for operating the system includes a source of ions (300), an accelerator system (400) and an ion beam transport system (60) for directing an ion beam to a plurality of treatment stations (100) to treat patients. The ion beam transport system (60) includes a gantry (8) carrying a vertical deflection system (45) and horizontal deflection system (55) positioned upstream from a last bending magnet (65) so as to provide a parallel scanning mode by an edge focusing effect.
