Abstract: The turbine (12) for a turbine engine (100) extends around a major axis (X-X) and comprises: —a casing (4) comprising an annular hook (38), —a movably mounted impeller (16), —a ring (30) extending opposite the impeller in a direction radial to the major axis (XX), —a distributor (14) comprising a blade provided with a platform (11), the platform being extended radially outwards by a spoiler (22, 24), the spoiler (22, 24) being radially mounted on the hook (38), and —foils (40) each having a profiled trough shape in a direction circumferential to the axis, the foils extending in succession in the circumferential direction, each foil (40) extending between the spoiler (22, 24) and the hook (38). The turbine comprises stops (162) to prevent the foils (40) from moving in the circumferential direction. Each foil (40) comprises a protrusion (162) arranged so as to extend circumferentially opposite another protrusion (162) of another adjacent foil (40).

Abstract: A novel yeast extract having from 25 to 55 wt % 5?-ribonucleotides, including 5 to 20 wt % adenosine 5?-monophosphate (5?-AMP) and 5 to 20 wt % guanosine 5?-monophosphate (5?-GMP) in a 5?-AMP/5?-GMP ratio ranging from 0.85 to 1.25, the weight percentages being expressed in relation to the dry weight of the yeast extract. Also a process of using such an extract for the masking of bitter and sour tastes and of undesirable sweetener, protein and metallic notes in a product.

Abstract: A method for matching points between three images of a scene comprises retrieving three images acquired by a sensor, extracting blobs from said reflection in said two images; for each given extracted blob of the first image: selecting a selected epipolar plane; identifying plausible combinations; calculating a matching error; repeating the steps of selecting, identifying and calculating for each epipolar plane of the set of epipolar planes; determining a most probable combination; identifying matching points between the two images; validating the matching points between the two images, said validating comprising for each pair of matching points, determining a projection of the pair of matching points in a third image of the third camera; and providing the validated pairs of matching points.

Abstract: A method for matching points between two images of a scene acquired by two cameras, the method including: extracting blobs from the reflection in the images and individually labelling the blobs with a unique identifier; selecting a selected epipolar plane and defining a conjugate epipolar line on each of the images; identifying plausible combinations including a light sheet label of the projected pattern and the unique identifier for a plausible blob selected from the blobs in each of the images; calculating a matching error for each of the plausible combinations; repeating the steps of selecting, identifying and calculating for at least some epipolar planes; determining a most probable combination by computing a figure of merit for the plausible combinations; identifying matching points in the frame from the most probable combination.
