Abstract: A helicopter gas turbine engine having a combustion chamber, at least one turbine arranged downstream from the combustion chamber to receive combustion gases emitted by the latter and a nozzle is disclosed. The nozzle has one part forming a diffuser, connected downstream from the turbine and an ejector which has an upstream part surrounding the downstream end of the diffuser and defining therewith an outlet passage for an engine compartment cooling air secondary flow, the ejector running in the downstream direction beyond the downstream end of the diffuser. The ejector has a wall formed at least partially by a sound attenuator calculated to attenuate sound frequencies generated by the rotation of the or each turbine and/or by the combustion chamber.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to novel baker's yeast strains, fresh and dry baker's yeasts obtained from said strains and the use thereof in bread-making, said strains being effecting on sugar-free doughs and/or lightly sweetened doughs, optionally in the presence of mould inhibitors.

Abstract: A supply device (30) of a device (10) for stripping leaves from tobacco plants P, where each plant is composed of a stem T that bears leaves F. The leaf-stripping device (10) includes at least one station (12) for supplying tobacco plants P, a discharging station (14), and elements (16) for transferring the plants P from the supply station (12) to the discharging station (14) according to a direction S of work. The transfer elements (16) include elements for receiving plants P at the supply station (12). The supply device (30) includes elements for depositing the tobacco plants P on the receiving elements of the leaf-stripping device (10) and elements for bringing the plants P for their leaves to be stripped one after the other and in an automated manner to the supply station (12) of the leaf-stripping device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation and a method of producing a glass having a low boron content, containing alumina or zirconia, the melting of the batch materials being carried out in an end-fired furnace equipped with regenerators, most of the fossil energy being introduced by the U-flame, the oxidant and fuel for which are introduced at the upstream face of said furnace, the oxidant being air or oxygen-enriched air. The melting compartment may be followed by a unit for fiberizing the glass. The invention makes it possible to produce fibers with an excellent combustion efficiency and high productivity.

Abstract: The push-in connecting piece has at least one pair of elongate members integral with an actuating head and pierced in line with an insertion hole for an insulated wire and is fitted to slide over at least one insulation displacement contact. Each elongate member of the push-in piece has a slit made in the insertion hole thereof and directed towards the head, for gripping the insulated wire.
