Abstract: The instant invention friction reducer formulation comprising friction reducer polymers such as PAM within the dispersed phase of an inverse emulsion containing a composition C which comprises a mixture of: —at least an alkanolamide emulsifier; and —a block copolymer comprising: —a hydrophilic block A comprising units deriving from a mono-alpha-ethylenically-unsaturated monomers; and —a hydrophobic block B.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition which contains at least one plant product and at least one texturing agent, to a kit for manufacturing a cosmetic composition containing these ingredients, and to a method for manufacturing a cosmetic composition and the use of said cosmetic composition to purify, hydrate and/or enhance the radiance of the skin.

Abstract: A system for changing the pitch of blades of at least one turbomachine rotor is provided. The system generally includes a control means acting on a connecting mechanism connected to the blades of the rotor and having a body mobile in translation along a longitudinal axis with respect to a fixed body, load-transfer bearing mounted on the mobile body cooperating with the connecting mechanism, and means for lubricating the bearing having a lubricant duct and extending radially above the fixed and mobile bodies. The duct generally includes first and second telescopic tubular parts that slide coaxially with respect to one another, the first part connected to the fixed body and the second part connected to the mobile body, and means for spraying lubricant into the bearing mounted on the mobile body and lubricant supply conduit mounted on the mobile body to connect the duct to the spraying means.

Abstract: A sizing composition for reinforcing fibres is provided which makes it possible to improve the adhesion of these fibres with respect to an organic matrix that forms, with them, a part made of a composite material and that results from the chain transfer polymerization of a curable resin. The sizing composition includes a polybutadiene prepolymer comprising at least two epoxide functions, a cross-linking agent comprising at least two reactive functions, at least one of which is a thiol function; and a catalyst comprising at least one tertiary amine function.

Abstract: A device for suspending a turbojet casing, the device including a shouldered pin extending through aligned orifices of two lugs of a clevis secured to the casing. A protection piece for providing protection against wear is mounted on each lug of the clevis and has the shouldered pin passing therethrough, the protection piece being prevented from moving in rotation on the lug by co-operating shapes.

Abstract: The purpose of the disclosure is to provide an insulation structure for efficiently controlling a thermal flow and protecting objects that is easy to implement, has a low cost and is compliant with strict standards in terms of fire resistance while offering protection against crushing and immersion. Accordingly the disclosure relates to a method for protecting at least one object previously encapsulated in a sealed pocket, that comprises imbedding the objects without trapping any air in a body of a high thermal-resistance insulator containing gypsum crystals, said insulator body being cast in a structure having a high mechanical resistance to crushing, and said structure consisting of an intermediate mould or directly defining a housing. A casing obtained by said method comprises the body block of a high thermal-resistance insulator and the housing having a high mechanical resistance to crushing.

Abstract: A method of detecting speech in an audio signal comprises a step of obtaining information on the energy of the audio signal, the energy information then being used to detect speech in the audio signal. The method further comprises a step of obtaining information on the voicing of the audio signal, the voicing information then being used in conjunction with the energy information to detect speech in the audio signal.
