Abstract: An approach for parsing and streaming contents of archive files is disclosed. In one embodiment, a client script executed by a web browser parses an archive file based on its archival format, without loading the entire archive file into memory. For example, the client may read only header fields of files inside a TAR format archive file to identify the files therein and their locations, while skipping contents of those files. Having identified files inside the archive file and their locations, the client further reads and processes files that are small enough to be handled by the web browser, while streaming to appropriate endpoints contents of other files such as those that are too large to be handled by the web browser. Such streaming may include slicing large files into sections the web browser can handle and attaching the sections to HTTP requests that are sent to appropriate endpoints.

Abstract: The invention proposes a casing (30) of an aircraft turbine (16), intended to support a set of ring sectors (28) which partly delimits a channel for the passage of a gas stream through the turbine (16), where the casing (30) includes means for dynamic adjustment of the radial position of the ring sectors (28) by controlled injection of an air stream on to portions (36) of an annular wall (34) of the casing (30), where the casing (30) includes an upstream radial tab (38) which connects an upstream end of each ring sector (28), in the flow direction of the gas stream, to the casing (30), and a downstream radial tab (40) which connects a downstream end of each ring sector (28) to the casing (30), where both upstream and downstream radial tabs (38, 40) are made from a single piece with the casing (30), characterized in that each radial tab (38, 40) is made as two portions (42, 44) from different materials.

Abstract: An intermediate casing comprising an inner annular hub, an outer annular barrel and an annular part for separating flows situated between the hub and the outer barrel. A primary stream is delimited between the hub and the separation part. A secondary stream is delimited between the separation part and the outer barrel. At least one hollow arm extends radially from the hub to the outer barrel, passing through the primary and secondary streams. A transmission shaft extends radially in the hollow arm. The hollow arm comprises a hydraulic-fluid outlet situated downstream of the transmission shaft. The arm further comprises a bypass channel or pocket able to bypass the transmission shaft.

Abstract: The present disclosure aims at achieving a mounting of a turbomachine stator blading while avoiding a delicate machining process of the engine casing. It also aims at simplifying the mounting as well as at reducing the costs, and at decreasing the number of item references for the engine. To achieve these objects, the turbomachine uses an extension of the engine casing. A turbomachine comprises at least one stator blading for air or gas stream flowing on the internal engine casing. The stator blading comprises a rim which is assembled on a radial extension of engine casing with an axial fastener. In a preferred embodiment of the turbomachine, the engine casing presents an annular wall provided with fingers originating axially from this wall and extending according to a curvature so that they present a radial extension tip against the rim of the stator blading.

Abstract: A LC controllable oscillator (LCCO) according to the invention comprises a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a first voltage controlled current source (VCCS) of a first type for supplying a current to the VCO. The VCO is realized with a first pair of VCCS of the first type coupled with a second pair of VCCS of a second type and a LC resonator. The VCO generates a periodical oscillation frequency that is controllable by a control signal (V). The LCCO further comprises a replica scaled bias module (RSBM) supplied from the external voltage source. The RSBM is conceived to generate a control signal (BIAS CONTROL) for controlling the supplied current delivered by the first VCCS to the VCO.
